hello,
Im using the free version, I editted a password to protect Avast , but when trying to open the option mode - a password alert showed asking me that im going to a protected zone .
in the bottom of this window there was a " password " but i couldnt write mine.
HELP -SOS.
If you are sure you entered the correct password and are still having difficulties, you may try an Avast Repair:
XP Users:
- Go to Control Panel > Add/Remove programs > Avast Antivirus.
- Scroll down and choose Repair function in the pop-up window.
- Reboot.
Vista & Win7 Users:
- Control Panel
- Programs & Features
- Uninstall a Program > Select Avast Antivirus
- Click the Change/Remove button and scroll down to Repair
- Click Next and follow.
- Reboot.
If the Avast Repair fails to fix your problem, your only other option is to uninstall Avast and do a clean install with no password. If you decide to use a password again, please write it down and keep it in a safe area. Thank you.

Download and re-install avast afterwards. Or, be proactive by downloading avast free to your desktop first, then run the uninstall utility with the instructions posted above.
