I have a UK based version on Microsoft Money 2003. This stopped working with
the problem you describe sometime after 17/12/2007. I have tried the
suggested corrections without success. There is something going on in the
background as initially the forgot password message gave an expired
certificate message. This is now taking me to the Windows Live page.

I have been in contact with about 5 MS people. They are sending me around
from one support engineer to the other and no seems to read what I write.

I even re-installed MS Money 2004 which didn't help. I found out that when I
click on the "Forgotten your passwod?" link, money tries to open the
following site: https://memberservices.passport.com/...RV_ResetPW.asp
which cannot be found! When I replace passport.com by passport.net I get a
message that the server certificate expired. ""www.passport.net" is a site
that uses a security certificate to encrypt data during transmission, but its
certificate expired on 06.08.2007 01:59". When I click continue another
error is displayed: "You have attempted to establish a connection with
"memberservices.passport.net". However, the security certificate presented
belongs to "www.passport.net". It is possible, though not unlikely, that
someone may be trying to intercept your communication with this web site."

There seems to be a problem on Microsoft servers, or maybe this is zhe way
MS wants to persuade us to buy a newer version? But who guarantees that that
version will work and that I dont pay 50$ for nothing?

It is NOT your machines!!!! It is the web site update that happened on Dec
17th. I have been yelling since then. Read all the other posts. I did the
knowledge based article, I reload certificates, they now want me to create a
new passport account. When you read what I did with my disks, it is obvious
that it is not a local PC problem.

Which same problem? The one where you forgot your password and
cannot open your file? Or the one where you have to click where it
says "I don't need to use online features that require Microsoft
Passport" to open your file.

You did not forget your password. Your problem is not similar.

I am also using 2004 Money for Small Business and have always had my name
and password saved. On Friday I went to sign in and wasnt able to log in.
Reset my password , deleted cookies, history, temp file..etc.and still am not
able to log in. Very Frustrating.
If anyone comes up with an answer please post it

I am having a similar problem. My money file suddenly quit recognizing my
email and password. They are valid and working elsewhere. I was using Money
2003 and so I went out and bought Money Plus Deluxe but it made no
difference. It apparently copied the issue over to my new version.

It is very frustrating. Money is MS program and I am using their Password
system and it is blocking me.

I will pay $35.00 to fix it but it is annoying.

I would wait until January if necessary. It may be that some key
people are away on vacation.

There is a method of recovering your passport if you know the answer
to the security question, and I don't know if you still have to have
the original email address active, or if it only necessary to know
that address. I would contact paid Microsoft support. If they can
help you with this, $35 would seem well worth it. Then consider
removing your Passport from your file once you are in.

Did you clean all cookies and history? Do you have "password manager"? I used
Money Delux Plus. There is password manager when you can your hotmail id and
e-mail.
