symantec uninstall help

[PSK]

EDIT: editing to make the question more 'civilized'
my parents recently got my pc formatted and the technician installed this symantec endpoint protection v11. now it asks for password when i try to uninstall. and the password is not symantec. also, ray's post about modifying the registry is obsolete..at least on windows 7. little help here?
EDIT2: got it removed via app remover but now my wireless internet stays stuck at 'limited access'

Based on google search I found that you need to contact Symantec Technical support and they will give you a removal tool or you can contact the technician who formatted your pc to get the password or call him again to uninstall Symantec Endpoint.

Download and run the Norton Removal Tool to uninstall your Norton product

This tool should also ignore the password

before criticizing norton , you should also think that its " endpoint protection " which is for Business use ,,, hence its under control of the Admin of the company .... hence its perfectly valid that u cant uninstall it for security purpose

next time , think more before saying terms like "crapware " :P

lol no offense meant...but i have had dealings with norton one too many times....even in the infamous year 2004.
just in case you didnt know, its hard to forget the antivirus you had when your first pc ever crashed and required 2 formats due to over 1000 viruses :P
i cant forget how long i had to wait before i could play my racing game again (i was a young boy then..nuff said )

btw i am gonna try that removal tool now thanks for the replys
and i had got many obsolete solutions from google search..so that seems like my only hope. wish me luck :P

no good
norton uninstall tool says that you must first uninstall the antivirus from add/remove programs before proceeding.

Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.x , Win 7 32-bit ?

Try AppRemover

But no guarantees !..

Have you tried steps given in following article: Uninstall Symantec Endpoint protection from password protection problems (WOT: Green)

Which version is exactly?

[PSK]

i tried task manager but the moment the password window comes it prevents me from clicking anywhere out of that window, so i am unable to click the end task button in the task manager.
i will try the app remover.
it is symantec endpoint protection version 11.0.6005.562

Ah ok. First off I doubt that technician bought a corporate version just for you. Second version 11 is old and outdated. Retail versions of it was massively leaked to warez sites. After installation sometime it doesn't even update. All I'm trying to say: It's crap. So either ask that guy for the pass or try AppRemover. Best of luck!!
