  • Hi Sue Allen, 

    On a computer managed by Sophos Central

    Retrieve the default Tamper Protection password from Sophos Central before performing this procedure.

    • Login to Sophos Central Admin.
    • Go to Computers and select the system you want to retrieve the Tamper Protection password for.
    • In the computer details overview screen, click View details from the Tamper Protection section.
    • Select Show Password and make a note of this password.

    Locally on a Mac computer

    • Open the Sophos Anti-Virus Preferences.
    • Click the padlock and Sophos icon and in the dialog box enter the tamper protection password.
    • Click OK.

    Note: Tamper Protection can only be disabled using this method to allow changes to be made to the local Sophos configuration. It cannot be disabled permanently. Sophos Central will automatically enable Tamper Protection after two hours.

    Please refer Sophos Endpoint: How to disable Tamper Protection for more details.
