Uninstalling SEP without a password


By chri - Posted on 19 April 2008

For those unlucky people like me that have SEP installed on their machines, and don't have the uninstall password. You can uninstall it easily without a password using this trick:

In 'Add/Remove Programs' choose to uninstall SEP.
The uninstall wizard appears, follow the instructions (next, next, next). When the password prompt opens, run task manager (or the better Process Explorer) and kill the task called MSIEXEC.exe that runs under your user account (not system). The password prompt will go away and uninstall continues !!
Nice one! Will keep it in my bookmarks for next installation of "Cain & Able" on my company Notebook :)
