Frequently asked questions

By default, QuickBooks Key removes protection and creates an unprotected copy of a password-protected QuickBooks file. To recover the original password, click the "Recover" link on the QuickBooks Key results page and choose one or more accounts to recover the passwords for. This will start a brute-force recovery process.

See the how-to video guide for more information.

To get access to a QuickBooks Backup (.QBB) file, convert it to the .QBW type first using the “Restore” option in QuickBooks. Then run QuickBooks Key against the .QBW file and it will create an unprotected copy of the QuickBooks company file.

The most probable reason is that your database is corrupted. Please check that your QuickBooks file can be opened using Intuit QuickBooks software and that you get a password prompt.
