I am trying to reset my ESET password.  I invoke the “forgot password” and then it asks me for the original password.  It will not tell me what it is.  So then I am stymied.

If you are referring to the password at my.eset.com, you only enter your account email address, not the original password:

Is it your myeset password or do you mean for the program settings

The link  below explains how to do both. Is it not asking for an email address?

After I change the password using the password reset link, then it asks me for the original password I used when I first set up my ESET account.  I can’t so then it doesn’t finish the password reset.
