I want to uninstall an agent, but it is not getting uninstalled because of anti-tampering , The endpoint is not connected with in the network so if a set global uninstallation password can i delete the endpoint using uninstallation password .

Hi @P.Pradhan812084 ,

If you have the uninstall password, you can do it manually:

https://docs-cortex.paloaltonetworks.com/r/Cortex-XDR/9.1/Cortex-XDR-Agent-Administrator-Guide/Uninstall-the-Cortex-XDR-agent-for-Windows

If the password was never changed then try the default one : 'Password1'

If you still have a support contract you can get a cleaner tool via Support.

Hope this helps,
