I bought a new laptop that has Windows 8 OS (awful). I successfully installed, from disk, my MS-Money 2005 (US). I copied my .mny file from the old computer to the new one, in the same folder structure. When I start up, it does ask for passport info - to my knowledge, I never had one. It continues to ask for a password, and although at one time, I had one on my MS Money file on my old laptop, I have removed it. I have entered my MS Live ID password and that doesn't work either. I'm stumped.
I see in forums that there's a solution to a similar problem in the UK, but am wondering what a US user can/should do? I REALLY need this to work, and I agree with others, there's no good substitute for MS-Money.
Any help will me much appreciated.
