Hacking to Uninstall Symantec Antivirus Client Without Password.
To Uninstall a Norton or Symantec Antivirus Corporate Edition Clients in a managed network, sometimes a password prompt window is appeared. Most of us forget the password and there is no way to uninstall the client forcedly. In that critical situation you will have only a way to hack windows registry to remove the password prompt window. You have to proceed as follow:
  1. Go to Run ( You can press Windows Key + R to open Run)
  2. Type regedit and press Enter to open the Registry Editor
  3. Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\INTEL\LANDesk\VirusProtect6\CurrentVersion\Administrator Only\Security
  4. Here you will see a DWORD value named UseVPUninstallPassword. Double click on it and Change the value from 1 to 0 then click on OK.
  5. Close Registry Editor.
Now try to Uninstall Symantec Antivirus and no password prompt window will appeared.

Admin your posts is as surprising. The clarity on your put up is simply cool

I was able to follow the instructions above and it worked. I had to attempt it a couple of times since multiple misexec.exe processes showed up. You have to choose the correct one. It showed up under SYSTEM and under the default windows user and maybe under LOCAL SERVICE. I was able to uninstall after 3 attempts at removing the proper msiexec.exe.
