Click on Settings in the bottom left corner, select (1) Preparer Information and add a new preparer. It can be the same name, just add a middle initial or something different. Then under Settings, select (2) Firm Information. 

 

In firm info, go under ERO and change the preparer.

I kept having the same issue too! I can login to Proconnect, but when I click to "add new client" my screen goes blank & I can no longer work in the system. Have you had any resolutions yet?

See solution -  it worked. It took me a while. I missed the post but someone at the call center helped me resolved it with the same step.
