  • 1.  Decrypting Symantec Endpoint Encryption 8

    I installed the SEE package on a laptop. I did do not remember the password to the SEE admin console. I am a local admin of my laptop, however, i can't reinistall the encryption client without decrypting first.

    The laptop is not working with group policy, and there are not other SEE admins other than myself.

    Does anyone have a suggestion?

    You can create a new package which you will then know the password to and reinstall it onto your laptop using the reinstall="ALL" and reinstallmode="vomus"

    Once this has upgraded you will be able to do what you need to.

    There are plenty of ways to get around this but if you are in a corporate environment there should be a service account that should have access to your machine. 

    In my opinion just coming out and asking how to circumvent the log-in protections sounds sketchy to me though.
