Deep Freeze® - uninstalling Solved/Closed

Question

Hello, 
I wondered if Deep Freeze can be uninstaled without knowing the password, someone recomended using the instalation kit to uninstal, but it asks for the password. I red on a forum that "windows security kit 2008" (dunno if that's the name) can be used to bypass DeepFreeze® is it true? If yes, how ? Configuration: Windows XP Internet Explorer 6.0

Hi
I have read the comments what you had tried,
ok you dont neet to format your  c drive,
once you have followed the steps mentioned by "blueserver", surely you get the message access denied, but try again twice, 
now if you look further in Processes, you need to kill one more Process, FrzState2k.exe , just wait for a while depending on your system speed, now you will see , that deep freez icon is gone,

1-NOW, go in the C:\Program Files\Faronics folder and select and SHIFT Delete the whole folder,
2- open regedit - go to" HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ and look for Faronics Folder" hit Delete button from your key board, when asked click yes, job done
this should fix the problem,
If not please reply me on the email above
Regards!

Ok I'll tell all of you guys that deepfreeze is relying on date. Hacking deepfreeze is just like hacking AT&T early 1990's. Changing the date in your CMOS 10 years backward or forward and above make deepfreeze confuse because those days deepfreeze doesn't exist. But remember killing deepfreeze system process cannot be kill booting your windows xp in normal mode. Only can kill this process is booting your windows xp in debug mode or debugging mode.And uninstalling deepfreeze only deepfreeze installer can uninstall it because it is 2 in one installer but you have to disable it before uninstalling.

I hope everybody knows what version of deepfreeze I'm talking about. I'm not talking the old versions of deepfreeze! I use these method when deepfreeze version 6 exist. And deepfreeze is shit program it can slow down your PC when your computer has many programs and sometimes you get error, you will meet Blue Screen of Death saying Memory Dump. But it is really protecting your computer from viruses. 

That's whats deepfreeze do.

1. Hold down the shift key and double-click on the Deep Freeze icon. Alternatively, you can press Crtl-Alt-Shift-F6. You should now see a password dialog.
   2. Enter your password and click OK. If you have not yet entered a password you should be able to click OK without entering anything. You should now see a dialog with boot options.
   3. Select "Boot thawed" and click OK. This will disable Deep Freeze on the next reboot.
   4. Reboot your machine. After the machine reboots you are ready to uninstall Deep Freeze
