The uninstall password is set by the administrator when they generate the installation packages.
Without this password, you cannot uninstall the client.
This is by design.

I saw a post on here once where there is some convoluted process to do this without an uninstall password, but not even sure its officially supported (probably not).

If I find it, will send it over, BUT, just a small disclaimer, dont shoot the messenger if stuff goes sideways lol

The uninstall password is configured in the Endpoint Security Installer itself by the administrator who generated it.
It is not something an end user can set themselves.
Without that password, it will not be possible to uninstall.
