    Hi there Ashish,

    "If you don't have any uninstall password change registry setting.

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection\AV\AdministratorOnly\Security\UseVPUninstallPassword

    Set to 0 to disable "

    Where do you find the \AdministratorOnly portion ? I do not see it in my system , I can navigate until

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection\AV

    and I have 3 folder options of ClientUI , ComCache and Snap-In , nothing related to "AdministratorOnly".

    I'm using Version 12.1.1101.401 RU1 MP1

    I'm the administrator and there is a standalone system which the sub administrator had forgotten the password.
