Title: Avast Password Recovery - Changed PC
Post by: WiFiNodE on November 13, 2016, 11:39:50 AM

Hi all,

I have changed a PC but forgot to "Export password setting".
However, the previous hard disk was not format yet, and the program folder is still accessible.

Is there any way for me to recover all the login and password info, I could remembered the master password.

Thanks in advance.

Only way is to boot from the old drive and setup password synchronization and then import them to the new system.

As the passwords are encrypted there is no text file where they are stored.
The encryption is specific for that specific system, so copying a file will also not work.
