Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security

Having fallen asleep on my KB while trawling the forum for the answer I need, I;ve decided tp stop looking for something that doesn.t seem to be there. However, I still find myself needing to make changes to my setup, all without remembering the MASTER password.
There doesnt appear to be a forgot/reset password link, anywhere on the sign in.
Avast Free 2014 9 0 2021. It’s also preventing ather programs from updating citing the ubiquitous Win32-evo gen SUSP. NUTSHELL: HOW DO I RESET MASTER PASSWORD?

     Many Thanks.

Sometimes it’s not possible to uninstall Avast the standard way - using the ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS in control panel. In this case, you can use our uninstallation utility avastclear.

Download avastclear.exe on your desktop - DONE
Start Windows in Safe Mode - HOW do I do this?
Open (execute) the uninstall utility
If you installed Avast in a different folder than the default, browse for it. (Note: Be careful! The content of any folder you choose will be deleted!) - I've upgraded to WINDOWS 10.  I have no idea where any programs are installed.  Windows 10 is Greek to me. I do not understand why they messed it up so badly.
