I purchased and installed Avast on April 11, 2011. Today (for the first time) I tried to access “Settings”. It prompted me for a password, but I don’t have that information. I don’t remember entering a password or selecting one or ever being provided a password when I installed the software. I’ve reviewed the emails associated with my purchase and installation of Avast - and cannot locate anything about a “settings” password. I haven’t found anyplace that says “password recovery” for this either. How can I resolve this issue, so I can at least view the settings and possibly adjust or change them? ???
The password is on top of Avast in “settings” …when you right click on the Avast globe in the task manager and try to set changes from there it asks you for a password by default…If you do not have a password set it will still ask you for a password just CLICK YES …
If someone has put in a password than you would have to do a reinstall
Cheers!! and safe surfing!!!
I would add that if there is already a Password that was set by someone else one time they could do it a second time. So I suggesting that the OP enter his own password when he re-installs.
