Log in to a Sage 50 Company
-
Open the Sage 50 company from the Start
screen. How do I do this?
If company users have been set up, Sage 50 displays the Log In window.
- Enter the user name.
User Name
Enter up to 16 characters that will be used to identify the person attempting to open this company and maintain its data. Do not include the forward slash (/) character in your user name. You may want to use something descriptive, such as a person's name. Or, you can set up user names depending on the user's intended access rights (for example, "Sales rep"). User names are NOT case sensitive.
Note: If you are operating on a network, multiple individuals can access the company data using the same user name. For example, two individuals can log on using the "Administrator" user name at the same time. This defeats the purpose of Sage 50's audit trail feature and so is not generally advised.
In the unfortunate event that you lose your user name or password and no one else can open the Sage 50 company, contact Sage 50 Customer Support.
- Enter the user's password.
Password
Enter the user's password. You enter up to 16 alphanumeric characters. Do not include the forward slash (/) character in your password. Avoid passwords that are obvious, like birthdays or names of relatives.
Passwords are case sensitive (that is Password, PASSWORD, and password are all different passwords) and must be unique. Two or more user records cannot have the same password.
Passwords must be at least seven characters. They must contain both numbers and letters. It's a good practice to include both upper- and lower-case letters, although this is not required. An example of a strong password: MLsmith707.
Note: In the unfortunate event that you lose your Administrator user name or password and no one else can open the Sage 50 company, contact Sage 50 Customer Support.
Note: When you enter the password, Sage 50 displays it as asterisks (*****) for security reasons. Remember that passwords are case sensitive.
Sage 50 opens the company and allows you access to the areas where you have rights.
- Then, click OK.
