How can I fix the password I forgot on the McAfee console?

Comments: If the user's unlock password on the McAfee VirusScan console is forgotten, you can solve the problem by deleting the registry. Generally, there are two situations:
First, mcafee does not enable the anti-registry modification function, that is, access protection is disabled.

In the registry, locate HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ McAfee \ topics topprotection, find the UIP subkey, and delete the subkey.

Second, access protection is enabled.
Restart your computer, enter security mode, open the registry, find HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ McAfee \ topics topprotection in the registry, find the UIP subkey, delete the subkey, and restart.

This is usually the case on the server. We recommend that you have data center personnel to perform the operation without re-installing the system.
