Symantec Antivirus Client Uninstall Password

You know, it is really becoming a common sight for us Techies at LPF. We see it more and more that Symantec software is loaded onto the client machines and an uninstall password is registered. Problem is that getting hold of this password is a hopeless mission!

Solution: Run regedit (Start -> Run -> Regedit). Navigate to :

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\INTEL\LANDesk\VirusProtect6\CurrentVersion\Administrator Only\Security

Modify the “UseVPUninstallPassword” DWord, from 1 to 0.

Exit the editor and run through the uninstall process again.
