I understand that point. You can change the account name on the page I
cited. I have not tried it, as I have no need or desire to change the
account name. But I think it can be done without the level of hassle
you describe.

One problem for disabling online services, if for a bank that supports
bill pay, is that all scheduled bills have to be canceled before
disabling the service. Otherwise the bills remain active but you lose
the link in Money and can't control them.

The password isn't what needs to be changed -- it's the account name.

Let me elaborate on the process:

* As usual before doing anything major in any program, make a backup of
your data file. If something goes wrong, you can start over. (I've never
had anything go wrong in this procedure, and I've done it many times.)

* Disable online access to the existing account, *for which you have
already had the account name changed*.

* Re-enable online access to the existing Money account. Provide the new
account name and password. Money will connect to the bank, log in,
notice you have an account that's not sync'd, create a new account in
Money, and dowload all the transactions.

* You now have a new account that duplicates a large number of
transactions in your old account -- probably the last 90 days worth,
depending on the bank. Merge the new account and the old account. The
duplicate entries will be merged automatically.

* Check the merged account to assure yourself that the transactions are
correct and that all duplicates have been merged. Check the ending
balance too.

If anything goes wrong, write down all the error messages, including
code numbers, and go back to using your backup file. Post here a
detailed description of what you did, including all the messages, for
more help.

Not true. Account user names and passwords can be revised by going to
the settings page for an account in question, scroll to the bottom,
click on 'Change bank or brokerage passwords'.

It sounds as if someone has the OPs user ID but not password. If
that's true, he may have to involve the bank to re-issue a new user ID
for the same accounts. After that, use the steps above to revise it in
Money.

You'll have to disable online access to that account, then set up a new
account. You'll then have to merge the old and the new accounts.

I had to change my user ID for chase.com because someone kept trying to hack
into my account and locking it. Where within Money 2006 can I change my user
ID for a particular financial institution? I see where I can change the
password for a financial institution, but not the user ID. Thanks.
