Is it possible to move a quicken file to a new account.

Here's the issue.

I run a small non-profit with quicken classic deluxe. I'm trying to plan 
for the unlikely disaster that I get hit by a bus and someone has to use 
our backups to recover.

The backups will contain the current quicken qdf file.  But I use my 
personal quicken account for this as well as my personal qdf file.

Is it possible for them to open the qdf changing its account on a 
different machine?  Or is the account in effect a qdf password?

If not, can I run two quicken accounts for different qdf files on the 
same windows machine?  And could they open the file knowing the account 
name and password on a different machine?
