TrendMicro uninstall
I have a client who lost their TrendMicro password to uninstall the software. How can I go around this? Also, what is the default password to uninstall this software as well?
Not sure what iteration of TM you are using but there is a way to reset the PW:

I also use a tool sometimes for hard to remove Software called JV 16 power tools. It is very powerful and should only be deployed by advanced users. it can be found here

You could also try AppRemover:

"...The free AppRemover utility enables the thorough uninstallation of security applications like antivirus and antispyware from your computer..."
I have used this utility several times with success.

As per the above link it could remove the following:
AntiVirus version 7
OfficeScan 8.0 & 10.0 agents.
Also removes the following, if installed: Trend PatchInstaller, Trend Threat Management Agent, Trend Cisco Trust Agent, Trend Cisco Trust 802_1x Wired Agent
I hope that would help
