ESET Remote Administrator (ERA) should be installed on a computer which is accessible by system or network administrators only. The information in this article is intended for such users.
The ESET Remote Administrator Console (ERAC) password is used to prevent unauthorized changes to the ESET Remote Administrator Server (ERAS) settings. By default, this password is blank (If no password has been created, leave the Password field blank and click OK when prompted). However, if a previously created password has been lost or forgotten, the password can be reset. Please follow the steps below to remove the ERAC password:
