Data Password - Quicken For Windows
Comments

If you haven't rebooted Windows since you installed the latest software update, please do so now and then try Quicken again.
Quicken data file passwords are case sensitive.If you never had a data file password before the update or the password doesn't work as expected, I'm afraid you'll have to restore your data file from a backup taken prior to the update. If necessary, go back and restore successively older backups until you find a file that works.

The data file password has been the same for a relatively long time. The last backup I have (there are several) were all backed up prior to the update. I will try to open a backup; however if that doesn't work (since the data file password was the same on the backup file), what would the next steps be? I had read a suggestion to use a prior version of Quicken, open the data file, remove the password, back up the file again, then upgrade Quicken to the newest version, and finally open the data file with no password. Does this sound logical?0
