Passwords
I have two company files set up on my reckon Hosted. I have always had a password on one of the files but not on the other. Last month I put a password on it. On Friday 22 April 2022 I went into that file to finish my monthly BAS and the password would not work. I rang Reckon support and put a note in and spoke to a girl on the phone. She tried everything no avail! I am still waiting for data recovery. Surely I am not alone in this problem. Could someone please help. Carole

My only suggestion is to restore a backup prior to putting in the password. Iโm not aware of any way to recover this other than Reckon, and Iโm not sure what is involved there, but Iโm sure there will be a fee

Sounds about right. I have spoken to the recovery team and they are supposed to be getting back to me. Money Money!

The suggestion provided by Kris is your best no-cost option, if you are doing regular backups. If not, Reckon will need to gain access to your file, following which they will search through it and find your password. However, as you contemplated, this will cost you money, money, money. When this happened to me because of something stupid that I did quite a few years ago now, I think that it cost me somewhere around $300.

Hi Kris I see you suggest backing up the file.
Do you mind telling me steps to take to back it up to my Harddrive or a Google Drive, as I see you can backup to Q or B but assume if you forget your PW then you can't restore it, so this bothers me, just wish to put something in place going forward.

After you have backed up you click on the red toolbox icon and click on the down arrow, then select the file from B drive and it will download to your downloads folder. From there you can copy to any drive you wish

Kris I find that odd, so why would you even bother putting a PW on it if you can just restore from the backup.
So really don't use PW at all would say, thank you

you forgot the new password and so the only way out was to restore from a backup prior to when you added the password. Once the password is in place it is also backed up and so would be there after a restore
some people like or need the added security of a password others donโt, depends on their staff setup amongst other things
