AVAST Password (General program access)

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

Hi all,

I put a password on AVAST as recommended, but now I can’t remember the password. The funny thing is that I have a lot of passwords on my job!.. lol

Can anyone tell me how can i retrieve/reset this password?

Thanks a bunch!

If you’ve forgotten the avast! password you set… the only option is a clean install.

You need to do a clean install of avast!..

  1. Download Avastclear, Rejzors uninstall tool and the appropriate Avast program edition

Note: It’s important you used the stub online installer from the one I linked… NOT the offline one.

Note: You need to be ONLINE during this install (online installer works in all cases whereas offline sometimes doesn’t)

Avastclear : http://files.avast.com/iavs9x/avastclear.exe
Rejzors Uninstall tool: http://rejzor.wordpress.com/avast-cleanup-tool/

  1. Uninstall Avast by control panel [If you don’t have Avast in control Panel go to #4]
  2. Uninstall in safe mode using Avastclear.
  3. Run Rejzors Uninstall Utility in Normal Mode (removes traces avastclear doesn’t) - reboot.
    Check : Once uninstalled check in device manager>view>show hidden devices if there is anything related to avast with a yellow triangle… if so, uninstall it and reboot.
  4. Install the version you downloaded.
  5. Reboot.

Note : If you have a paid license, install it after the reboot at stage 6.

Hi Alikhan,

First: thank you for the quick answer. I uninstall AVAST using the Avastclear in safe mode and then I install AVAST again. I’m using AVAST for many years, it’s the best antivirus for me.

Thank so much for the support, best regards
