Posted by dkszone on August 3, 2009

If you have enabled Parental Control Settings Password in Comodo Firewall and later forgotten it, you will be completely handicapped to do any further changes in settings. Shut down of the Comodo Firewall is also not possible without the password.

What more, you can’t even Uninstall Comodo Firewall! There is a way to remove the settings password and still retain Comodo Firewall’s other settings.

Follow these steps to remove the forgotten password. You can later set a new password if desired.

1.  Start the Windows in Safe Mode. (For booting in ‘Safe mode’, keep hitting the F8 key during system start-up)
2.  Open Registry Editor.

  • (Windows XP Users: Start –> Run –> Type regedit and click OK)
  • (Windows Vista Users: Start ->All Programs -> Accessories -> Run-> Type regedit and click OK)

3. In the left Pane of the Registry Editor, Propagate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE–>SYSTEM–>Software–>ComodoFirewall Pro–>Configurations–>Settings.
