I’m trying to restore a file that went to quarantine that I know is OK because I often use it. When I do that, a small dialog pops up that says Webroot, an opentext company and asks me to enter my password. I have tried every password I have - from the community forum to the opentext login, to the password that is used when I want to open a new support ticket (which asks for characters according to their numbered position). None work. They are all rejected as “wrong password”. WTF does it want? I know I have done this before without being asked for a password. I’m not sure which product. It’s Webroot. I think the home edition, but not certain. It says CE 25.3 version 9.0.40.53.

Hello ​@silvanet 

 

Maybe you or someone using your system set a local password within the Webroot Client? I never used that option but have a look and let us know. Also if it is set and you don’t know the password follow what ​@ProTruckDriver said above and contact support.
