I put in the wrong EIN number for my pers on my federal form

If you've already filed your return, then you will need to wait until it is accepted or rejected by the IRS. At that time, you can choose to amend it to make any needed changes. If you have not filed already, simply go to Tax Home, select Federal and then work your way back through the worksheets to make any needed adjustments.

Apparently I entered the wrong Tax ID number in 2 places.

@holtld53  To edit the employer's Tax ID number (EIN), you will need to revisit the W-2 section of your tax return.  You can change or delete your W-2 info if you haven't filed your taxes yet.  Refer to the following TurboTax FAQ for instructions:  How do I change my W-2 info in TurboTax? - Community

To edit your individual Tax ID number (ITIN), you will need to revisit the Personal Info section of your tax return:

1. Sign into your account.
2. Under the Personal Info tab, select Continue.
3. Scroll down to the correct individual and select Edit.
4. Enter the correct ITIN in the Social Security Number field.
5. Scroll to the bottom of the page and select Continue.

If you have already filed your return and it is accepted, you can only correct the Tax ID number by filing an amended return:  How do I amend a 2019 return in TurboTax?

I cannot get to my info that I have already entered.   I need to finish and submit.  Cannot get pass  the page that tells me to download a browser

@zajkit If you are using the CD/Download version, whenever an update is installed in the CD/Download software it loses track of where you left off. So the next time you open your return it takes you to the beginning. There is no way to get back to where you left off, because the software no longer knows where you left off. But after you save the return again, the next time you open it, it will pick up where you left off, until the next update.

If you exit without saving, it also will not remember where you left off. When you open the return again, it will go to where you were when you last saved it, unless an update has been installed.
