How to bypass k9

Make sure you are connected to the internet before uninstalling K9 so your license is properly released. If this is not possible, you can continue to uninstall, but you will need to request a new K9 license if you choose to reinstall K9 in the future. Also, please make sure you are logged into your Windows Administrator user profile. Attempting to uninstall K9 from any other user profile than "Administrator" will not work.

1. Click [Start].
2. Click [Control Panel] (Note: if you cannot see this option, it may be under[Settings]).
3. Open [Programs and Features] (Note: This will be called [Add/Remove Programs] in Windows XP).
4. Locate Blue Coat K9 Web Protection in the list of programs and click once to highlight it.
5. Click [Change/Remove].
6. Click [Yes] when you are asked whether you want to completely remove K9. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO UNINSTALL K9 WITHOUT A PASSWORD. By design, K9 will block all internet access should one attempt to uninstall K9 without using a password. Attempts to modify K9 at the registry level will have the same effect.
7. Enter your K9 Administration password and click [Uninstall]. If you forgot your password, click the "Forgot Password..." link to have a temporary password emailed to the email address on file.
8. When prompted to reboot your computer, click [Yes].

After rebooting your computer, K9 will be completely uninstalled.

If you forgot your K9 password, you can request a temporary password by clicking the "Forgot your password" link below the password box when attempting to log into the K9 Administration page. go there now

When you click the "Forgot your password" link, a 24-hour password will be automatically sent to the email address they have on file for your license. The temporary password will only work on the computer from which it was requested. It does not replace your current K9 password, but you can use it to set your password to something you will remember.

I hope that helps and best of luck to you!

You can find many solutions over the net but dont try it else the internet will be blocked.. just ask for a new password and they will mail you... You need to click on forgot password.

go to C:\Program Files\Blue Coat K9 Web Protection click once on license, then press delete button
go to http://www.k9webprotection.com/download/k9-webprotection.exe
then press run, press next, click i agree, click next
go to http://www1.k9webprotection.com/getk9/index.php
fill the form in, then check your email if you've got the license, then copy and paste the license into the installation, click next, then create your own password, then click next, click install
then it has the part where it says error opening file for writing.....
you click ignore, then go to manually reboot later
go to start, go to all programs, go to where it says blue coat k9 web protection, go to uninstall
click yes, then type the password that you made before, then reboot

You will have to remove k9 or wipe and reload the OS. The issue is caused by the k9 software.

If you bought the machine with k9 preloaded, then you will need to wipe and reload your OS and drivers, or call k9 for removal.

If it was installed for you by an administrator, (your computer guru), you had best speak with him/her before taking any action. Administrators often have records of these things, and they can assist you.

If you are a parent and you installed this to protect your children, but you forgot the password, then you may need to call k9 and have someone assist you. there is likely a "master" password or a reset code they can give to allow you to reset and reapply your settings.

If you are a child trying to get into adult websites, and your parents installed k9 to stop you, then I suggest you grow up, get a job, buy your own computer, and do as you will with it. After you drop $700 to $900 of your own money into it, then you may visit anyplace you desire, and infest it with junk. Once it is no longer useful, you may begin to appreciate why someone tried to install security on it. Once your investment becomes a blinking bleeping heap of slow uselessness, you might understand why your parents installed k9.

Good luck.

5. That is it! -you can now uninstall K9 or set it accordingly

Just some advice from someone in the same situation!

if its xp all you need to do is restart the computer boot in safe mode with networking then when you get to the logon screen it should say administrator click that when your on that im pretty sure you can do whatever you want if you do that

This and just about any program can be uninstalled from the Control Panel. Do you have the password for k9 program? If so you could just disable it whenever you are using the computer. The K9 protection/security levels determine what sites are blocked or content is blocked.
