This may not help you at this late date, but I just ran across your thread from last month tonight.
I see you are using Windows XP. The developers made password protection mandatory for TurboTax data files on XP machines for 2015. You cannot transfer the 2015 data file from desktop to a 2016 online return while it is password-protected.
TurboTax in Windows XP will probably not let you remove the password. You will probably not have a "Remove Password" button (see screen image.)
Here's how to check. Launch
your 2015 TurboTax program and open the *.tax2015 data file. When the
return is open, click in the top left corner on FILE, then in the
dropdown choose "password." In the popup is there a "Remove password"
button? (see screen image)
Sorry, there is no way to transfer your file from the desktop platform to the online platform. (You can do the reverse, but not what you're asking to do).
