How To Uninstall Trend Micro Without A Password

 

If you no longer have that password, fret not because there are several ways you can uninstall Trend Micro without it.

  1. First, try uninstalling Trend Micro with the Diagnostic Toolkit. This is a special application that allows you to make changes (including removal) of Trend Micro software. You can download from here:

  2. Unfortunately the Trend Micro Diagnostic Toolkit doesn’t always work. So our next course of action is a little more technical but it almost always works. What we’re going to do is modify the registry to force Trend Micro to allow us to uninstall it. Here’s how to do it:
    1. First, click on Start, then Run and type regedit and hit Enter.
    2. Next, browse to the following path in the registry:
      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\TrendMicro\PC-cillinNTCorp\CurrentVersion\Misc
    3. Once there, on the right hand pane, double click the entry Allow Uninstall and set it to a value of 1
    4. Now you should be able to uninstall Trend Micro through the normal uninstaller in Add/Remove programs in Control Panel.
