how do i retriev my password to use my home edition. I need to adjust my scan srttings.
If it were that easy there wouldn’t be much point in having a password. I would have thought that this would be retained with some form of encryption so if you did manage to find where it was located you wouldn’t be able to do anything with it.
This the only thing I can find in the avast help file: - avast! - help: silent installation
The following two files will be written to the selected folder: admin.ini and tasks.xml. The file admin.ini contains the settings of the avast! program, the file tasks.xml contains the settings of the particular tasks. If the password for resident protection settings was set, there will be another file in the target folder: aswResp.dat; it contains the encrypted password to access the resident protection settings and termination.I'm not sure how relevant this will be to you as it relates to silent installation
You may have to uninstall, reboot and install again
After uninstalling make sure that avast installtion folder is empty.
Becouse if some files was left, you may get password enabled again.
