Password to Uninstall Symantec Antivirus Client

One of my old friend contacted me today and asked me to help him out with his computer virus problems. I checked his computer and he has Symantec Antivirus client installed but there were no Symantec Antivirus server at home. If the server is not around, the client wouldn’t get virus definitions update at all and it’s meaningless to have an outdated antivirus running at background. So I thought of uninstalling the Symantec Antivirus client.
I went to Control Panel and ran Add or Remove Programs. Found Symantec Antivirus Client and I clicked on the Remove button. The progress bar ran for a while and a dialog box pop out asking for password to continue the uninstallation.

I asked my friend and he didn’t know anything about it! I couldn’t install any other type of antivirus IF i do not remove the Symantec Antivirus client first. Searched around and found the default password to uninstall Symantec Antivirus client and also a way to bypass the password.
The default password that should work for most of the Symantec Antivirus Corporate Edition client uninstallation is “symantec“. Easy isn’t it? Well it isn’t if you don’t know.
This is what you should do if the default password didn’t work.
1) Go to Start -> Run and type regedit
2) Navigate to:
3) Double click on the value name “UseVPUninstallPassword” and change the value from 1 to 0
4) Close the registry and retry the uninstall.
