how to learn the Sophos keychain password?

viola77

I’’’’m running Sophos antivirus home edition ver 9.2.2 on Mavericks OS 10.9.5. Trying to create a bootable system backup on an external HD but when I go to boot from the external drive, Keychain Migration keeps asking for the Sophos Keychain Password. I have no idea what that is since I’’’’ve never set a password for the Sophos Home Edition. 

Is there any way for me to learn what this password is or to turn off Sophos when I'm creating the bootable system backup and then turning it back on again after successful creation of the backup?

Do I have to delete Sophos prior to creation of the bootable system backup to make this work?

    I have been making bootable backups for years with Sophos installed and have never run into that problem. I suspect the issue is how you create the backup. I use Carbon Copy Cloner, though SuperDuper! will get the job done too. The key may be that nothing is being migrated; rather the system being backed up is being cloned, file by file, including the Keychain files.
