Have you forgotten your password or username and/or is your password not working?
Section 1: General tips
- Verify you are trying to log into the correct company.
- Usernames and passwords are case sensitive – try all versions of the username; e.g., Admin, admin, ADMIN.
- Make sure you type the user ID and password exactly as they were set up – User IDs and passwords are both case sensitive.
- If you’re not sure what your username is, refer to I forgot my username.
- If the user was set up in a prior release of Sage 50 and the username is longer than 16 characters, or the password longer than 9 characters, enter as much of each as will fit and click OK.
- Open Microsoft Word or Notepad and type your password in there to verify all keystrokes are registering properly. Then try copying and pasting the verified password into the password field.
- The administrator user in each company can reset passwords.
- If the administrator can log in, follow the instructions in Section 2
- If the administrator cannot log in, see Section 5
Section 2: Reset the user’s password
