Each set of data files has its own password. Thus if you have two entities and five years of data for each, you could have as many as 10 different passwords or as few as one password you use for everything. I'd recommend having the same password for all years of an entity. So for example, Entity 1 might have the password "red" for each of its 5 sets of data files (years), and Entity 2 might have the password "blue" for its 5 years.While all the above is true, and might be helpful to someone who needs to know about passwords, I don't think it really answered your question!

It's important to note that each year is in a separate set of data. This has nothing to do with passwords. If you're in year 2001 for Entity 1 and want to look up something for that entity in year 2000, you have to switch to the year 2000 data. (If the year 2000 data has a different password than the year 2001 data, you'd need to know that password in order to switch.)
NOTE:
Financial Navigator offers an add-on product called Advanced Reports. Advanced Reports enables you to create reports spanning multiple entities and multiple years. It also allows you to export report data to spreadsheets for further analysis. Click on the link (underlined words) above for more information on this product.
