If you used a password in MYOB software previous to AccountEdge v4 (2004) or AccountEdge Network Edition (2004)

In MYOB software previous to AccountEdge v4 (2004) or AccountEdge Network Edition (2004), an optional password system was available to restrict access to your company file. To set up the system, a Master password had to be created first; this password had full access to the MYOB software. Sub-passwords could then be created to restrict users' access. Any User ID could be entered, but the password that was used to open the file provided security by restricting access.

Using AccountEdge 2006, the User ID provides access to the company file and can be used to restrict access to certain parts of the company file. A password is still optional for use with user IDs. The Administrator User ID is similar to the Master password; it authorizes only the Administrator to create other user IDs.
