Symantec AV removal

How do you uninstall the corporate version of Symantec antivirus if it's password protected & you don't know the password?

First, try the word "symantec".  If that doesn't work, open regedit and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Intel\LANDesk\VirusProtect6\CurrentVersion\AdministratorOnly\Security.  Change the useVPuninstallpassword from 1 to 0.  Close the registry editor and retry the uninstall.
