Well, if you can find the *.tax2022 file on your computer, it should be able to transfer into TurboTax Desktop for 2023. You are not trying to open your 2022 tax file, just transfer it into TurboTax 2023.
You may have placed a password on it accidently, but TurboTax doesn't put passwords on files on your computer.
Could it be your main system password you use to open your computer, or another password you use frequently? In any case, you are not clicking to open the file, just make note of the location on your computer, so you can direct TT 2023 there if needed.
