    Hello @KM, 

    Thank you for contacting the Quicken Community with this question. 

    Yes, you can add a data file password and then remove it later. You may follow this link to access a FAQ that discusses adding, changing, or removing a data file password on your Quicken for Mac application. 

    I hope this helps!

    @km - If it were me, I would remove all your Quicken data files (including backups) from the computer before it's sent in to be it repaired and save them to an external storage location (flash, portable, cloud).  I would even go as far as uninstalling Quicken before it's sent in to be repaired. 

    There is nothing wrong with just password protecting your data file.  It all depends on your comfort level that any of your personal files on your computer won't be accessed or damaged.
