NOTE: In Sage 50 Accounts v28.1 or above, you can store your logon credentials.

How to log in

Open Sage 50 Accounts and you're presented with your Company List. Select the company you want to open and click Open Company, then enter your logon details.

You can log in as:

• Username MANAGER with the password you set up when you created the company, or
• a username set up for you by the manager, and the password if applicable

If you're only prompted for a password, this is the password associated with the manager username. 

TIP: After upgrading from an older version, enter MANAGER as your logon name and use your normal password.

I need to change the Manager password

If you need to change your password you can reset or change it within Sage 50 Accounts. 

To find out how, read How do I set or change the manager login password?

I've forgotten my password

If you forget your Sage 50 Accounts password, we recommend the following:

• Log in as the manager with no password
• Log in as the manager for both the logon name and password
• Log in as the manager with your Sage account number as the password
• Try other common passwords you use

If the options above don't work you can follow our simple article about how to reset your Manager password.
