Uninstall Symantec Without Password

by Jon Phillips on October 27, 2009

The following is a registry entry to allow Symantec to be uninstalled without a password. This is helpful when you have old clients out on the network with password enabled Symantec and the system admin has left the company and noone knows te password.

1. Open Registry Editor (regedit).
2. Navigate to the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\INTEL\LANDesk\VirusProtect6\CurrentVersion\Administrator Only\Security\

3. Change the value for useVPuninstallpassword key from 1 to 0.
4. Exit Registry Editor and now you can uninstall Symantec AntiVirus Client.
