SOLVED: How To Remove or Change the Password In Kaspersky Security Center, Policies, Interface, Enable Password Protection
When using Kaspersky Security Center you may set a policy in:
Managed Computers
Policies tab
Advanced Settings
Interface
Enable Password Protection
The problem is the damn thing requires you to enter the old password before you can change to a different password. This makes no sense and after trying to get around it for more than an hour I called Kaspersky support and was told that this is intentional and that the only way to get around it was to build a new policy from scratch… ya, not going to happen. I told the agent this was unacceptable and that I needed this advanced. The prospect of dumping all those settings which have taken years to configure just the way I like them made me nut.
For other reasons I ended up contacting Kaspersky support again and I thought I should ask again and I got a much better answer. The solution is to:
launch a Kaspersky End Point Security 8 CLIENT (i.e. NOT the server unless you are working on Server policy),
Click Settings,
Click Advanced Settings
Click SAVE. This will save the currently applied configuration.
Go to your Kaspersky Security Center SERVER
Click Managed Computers
Click the Policies Tab
right click on the white space in the center frame and choose NEW – PO)LICY
Run through the wizard as is obvious but on the third screen in select the .CFG file you just exported from your client station
Near the end of the wizard is an option to set the password… so do that and bingo you are free
Hi
i'v installed kaspersky security center 10for one of the my customers and i'v set password for his console now he forgot his password .
how can i reset the password of the console?
Hi Ali;
I do not have a direct answer to that other than to suggest that the password is most likely stored in the SQL database and Kaspersky tech support can likely help you work through that.
It was really a helpful information that saves my environment thank you very much.
Hello,
I re-install Kapsersky security center 10 and all client computers lost connection with kaspersky security center when i scan just it show the client not install antivirus and agent, how to solve this issue anyone knows.

I would re-push the AGENT to each machine and that should force the machines to reconnect.
