If you are experiencing difficulty connecting QuickBooks Desktop to busybusy, there are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the issue yourself.

Being integrated with QuickBooks Desktop means you are familiar with the Web Connector. A common issue that will break your connection is an invalid password. Error messages can cause a stand still when trying to run payroll, but don’t worry because we’re here to help!

Entering an invalid password will break your connection to busybusy. You’ll get the error message “Invalid Password for Username” when you enter the wrong busybusy password in your Web Connector or if you have changed your password in busybusy. The first thing to do is try and enter the correct password in your Web Connector.


If you are still experiencing issues follow the steps below:
