Set up and password confusion

[lesleya 0]

I recently purchased ESET smart security.

I have been taken to various password screens.  One of the early ones seemed to not allow me to include special characters in my password -  is this correct? Seems rather limiting for security software. 

Then, when I entered the password the email and password combinations didn't work, so I click on forgot password, am taken to email message, which takes me to reset, and I need the recovery password.  

Then, when setting up the ESET password recovery manager there was a screen which showed the recovery password.  I opened another screen to save the recovery password - but then the recovery password itself disappeared.  I have saved the master password, but I am not prompted for this - or at least I can't get in without the recovery password. 

So then I open a new account with a different email, and associate this new email address with my licence.  But still don't have a way of resetting my password without going through the recovery key option.

I know the confusion is between getting the right password for the ESET platform, and 2) for the password manager.

I think I might need to start again.  How do I delete all of these accounts without losing my licence?

Normally you don't have to set up any password, just install ESET, enter your license key to activate it and that's it.

1, A password can be set to protect ESET settings from tampering.
2, A my.eset.com account requires a password.
3, Password manager requires a password to log in to your password store.

Which of the passwords doesn't support special characters? I've tried to set a password to protect settings using special characters and the password was accepted.
