Setting A Password
From the front screen select Setup then Set A Password. The following dialog is shown
- Enter your password and press the Enter key, then enter it a second time for verification. Your new password is accepted if both passwords are the same.
- The Unlock button is shown if you have previously entered a password. Click this button to remove all password protection from Ace Payroll.
 | I am the only person who has the password for Ace Payroll. How would my company gain access if something happened to me? |
- If possible, it is best if two people have the password. Ideally, of course, it is best if two people know how to use Ace Payroll. In a small business this is often not practical.
- For this reason, there is a master password we can use to get you into Ace Payroll. We would then delete the old password so that your company doesn't have the problem again.
- When it comes to entering a password, Ace Payroll is only partially case sensitive. If you type either a or A it is accepted as correct. Therefore, it does not matter whether you hold down the SHIFT key or have CAPS LOCK on.
- However, the keyboard buttons 0-9 are case sensitive. These are the buttons on the second rows of your keyboard, just under the function keys. Therefore if you hit the 4 key a 4 is entered, but if you hit SHIFT-4 a $ is entered.
- For example if your password is pays$$$ and you type in the last three characters without holding down the SHIFT key, you are entering pays444 not pays$$$.
- The other common reason a password is rejected is if a client is trying to enter the wrong password for that particular payroll. Many users do wages for more than one company - are you sure the password you are entering is the right one for this company?
