HI everyone.
I installed comodo firewall a few weeks ago now. but i had the idea to put a password. Know that i forgot it, it's impossible to do anything with comodo. all the commands are locks.
i already tried the "regedit option" that ask to change a value from 1 to 0. but nothing change.
I'm using windows seven home premium and comodo version 3.13
Thx !!

Sorry it appears to have come more complicated in later versions of CIS

1
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Software\Comodo\Firewall Pro\Configurations\Your active configuration\Settings, change value 1 to 0 by pressing modify on entry PasswordEnabled.
Check whether value is 0 for PasswordEnabled entry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Software\Comodo\Firewall Pro\Configurations\0,1,2 or 3\Settings.

2
You also have to change the PasswordHash the easy and safe way I think is to copy the hash from one of the non active configurations and paste in the active one.

By changing the 1 to 0 stops the password, but the hash is still there so you have to input the password once to clear which is no use to you.
