Hello There,
if you want to remove SEP from client system then simple step is to login into safemode and use cleanup tool..
Hi,
Thank you for posting in Symantec community.
I would be glad to answer your query.
To delete GUI password follow the steps:
Open the registry
What is the actual issue in your symantec. If it not connected with your Symantec and policy is require the password to replace then you can try to replace it in safemode. Otherwise you can replace the sylink file with your SEPM Server in Safe Mode because in Safemode client Service not getting Started.
If it not working then best option is cleanwipe tool.
For cleanwipe tool you need to contact with Symantec Technical Team.
