I had to uninstall/re-install EIS related to https://forum.eset.com/topic/18856-missing-scan-logs/ I did use the uninstall tool.

After doing so, I went into advanced settings to change one or two things and established a new password to protect my settings (https://support.eset.com/kb2782/) . To my surprise, after entering the new PW (very carefully), EIS did not recognize the new PW. So I requested a verification code via Restore Password. Upon receiving the verification code,  I copied and pasted it within 2 minutes. It came back as saying the code was invalid or outdated. I then tried it again (and again) and got the same result both times. As EIS was locked down, as far as setting were concerned, I had to uninstall via the uninstall tool AGAIN (after communicating with ESET Support/USA).

My question is does an issue/bug exist with the password protect settings? Is anyone else having the same trouble?  Why the verification codes did not work is also a mystery, but I guess Support is aware of that.

Regards,

Tom

None that I'm aware of. I will ask colleagues tomorrow so until then I'd suggest raising a support ticket for customer care so that the case is properly dealt with and tracked.

I did open a ticket w/ESET Support/USA and will PM you the details (so as to stay within Forum rules).

Did you initially set a password that you later forgot and wanted to change it? Or you were prompted for a password despite none had been set before? Do you see information about installed modules in the Update pane?

Due to another issue (see https://forum.eset.com/topic/18856-missing-scan-logs/ ) as a last resort, I uninstalled (normally) and then ran the ESET Uninstaller tool (to clear any leftovers). So (I believe) any stored PW would have been wiped clean. I also tried the old PW to no avail. As all settings were locked up after the 1st Uninstall (with the locked PW), I had to run the Uninstall tool a 2nd time (could not do a normal uninstall as the PW was messed up) and then did a clean install of EIS v12.1.31.0.

So is everything now straightened out password wise?
