This issue has been solved. See solution.
I am currently using SEP MR4 MP2. I have some laptops  that have SAV 9.0 and when we were migrating from SAV to SEP these laptops were not available.
Now when I push the package for SEP it fails saying that a previous version of SEP is installed. When I go to add remove program to Uninstall that it asks for a Uninstallation password. Which I don’t remember. I have digged in all my notes and tried all combination, Nothing is working.
 
Is there a way to disable the password ?
 
Any input will be highly appreciated .
