locked out of options
« on: April 22, 2013, 08:28:26 AM »
Someone went into my teamviewer and filled in a password to change options. Now I cant get into my options, because I dont know what the password is. So now I cant change anything, and I cant shut TV down. What can I do about this? Is there anyway to recover the options protect password please?

This also means I cant change my permanent password for unattended access, and if that person still has that password, they can come back anytime.

my thought would be to do a complete uninstall of Teamviewer on your machine using something like http://www.revouninstaller.com ( free version, use "complete removal" in the options when revo asks)then reinstall teamviewer.  you can reset the password( ID will stay the same) but you will lose you options, you will have to reset those.
