The password I use on the WEB does not work for the software on my computer
Password-protected document opens on all my synced computer dropboxes but not when I log in on web dropbox on computer or iPhone. Tried changing p/w but it still won't open via web. No sync errors, everything else works.

Cache wasn't the problem. Seems that Dropbox can't directly allow access when a password is created within the Word program on the computer. If I open with "Word for the web" it (eventually) takes me to a place where it accepts the password for a read-only version. It's not ideal but at least now I can access it (though not make changes) when away from my desk.
@ronniehurst01 if you dont have access to the device that the codes are being sent to then there is no way to get access to the account again.
