How to Uninstall Shadow Defender without a password.



·         Boot with a Live CD/DVD/USB
·         Rename all files named diskpt0.sys located at the root directory of all HDDs (ex. diskpt0.sys.bak)
Rename diskpt0.sys

·         Rename Shadow Defender folder (ex. Shadow Defender 2)
Rename Shadow Defender folder

·         Reboot the PC
·         Rename Shadow Defender 2 back to Shadow Defender  
·         Uninstall and reboot 
·         Delete all diskpt0.sys.bak

·         Delete all left over Shadow Defender folders


·         Run CCleaner and Scan for Issues

Why rename instead of delete, just in case something went wrong in your removal process, you have a fall back position to revert your changes.

    It works like a charm,

    i used "gandalfs windows 10 pe" as bootable cd

    I didn't delete "diskpt0" or "shadow defender" because if i need them again, simply change the names back
