cant remember password 4 settings

help. when trying to change my settings in avast internet security, it is telling me my info doesnt match but doesnt give me a choice to recover my password.

Lost, Forgotten (or didn’t set) Password and avast is calling for a password.

Ordinarily this would entail reinstalling avast, you may be able to remove a file C:\ProgramData\AVAST Software\Avast\aswresp.dat. Before you can delete it you would need to disable the avast self-defence module, AvastUI > Settings > Troublesooting.

If that doesn’t work you would need to boot into safe mode, where avast doesn’t start and remove it.
(Thanks to DavidR for these instructions.)
