How to Uninstall a Norton antivirus password read more

 

SymantecNorton Antivirus is a program that helps guard your computer from viruses, malware and other threats to your system. The program has a password protection option, meaning the program can't be changed, uninstalled or reinstalled without entering the password. If, however, you have forgotten or simply don't have access to the password anymore, this becomes an inconvenience. If you've lost or forgotten your Norton password, it's possible to reset the password to have access to the program again.


Instructions


1Open the norton program and click "Help" in the menu bar. In the "About" window, select "Norton Antivirus."

2 Select "Reset password" from the menu tab. Type in the password reset key displayed in a dialogue box next to the "Reset Password Key" window. This simply confirms that you are the owner of the computer/software and not a malicious virus or hacker attempting to make changes to the program.

3 Type in your new password in the "New Password" field. Confirm the password by clicking "OK" when the confirmation dialogue box appears. If you want to completely remove the program's password, simply leave the new password box blank and select "OK."
