If upgrading to newer version of Quicken change your password before upgrading. I upgraded from 2006 to 2013. Quicken 2013 does not properly convert your old password if it has more than 14 characters. It will tell you an incorrect password is being entered. BEFORE you upgrade to newer version you must shorten the password and save it in your old Quicken. Make a backup quicken data file. Now you can install Quicken 2013, Quicken 2013 will uninstall the older version then install 2013, upon opening Quicken 2013 it will offer to open current data file or data file at a different location. Once that data file is opened it will ask for you password to open the program. If you have prepared yourself and created a short password the Quicken 2013 will open. Now you can change your password to a longer version if you wish. Remember that there is maximum password length software bug during the conversion of your data file to a newer Quicken.
