Forgot password for settings...

[Vassu Arora]

I forgot the 'PROGRAM SETTINGS' password of AVAST!
HOME EDITION ver 4.7.
Is there any method to reset/recover the lost
password, except re-installing AVAST!? :'(
Thnx in advance.

I'm afraid it will need to be reinstalled and it may be best to do a complete clean install.

Download the latest version of avast http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html and save it to your HDD, somewhere you can find it again. Use that when you reinstall.

Download the avast! Uninstall Utility, find it here and save it to your HDD.

Now uninstall, reboot, run the uninstall utility, reboot install the latest version, reboot.

You do not have to use a password. But, if you set a password, then you will need it.
