HELP... Autofill protection password doesn't work!
I just changed the Autofill protection password a few moments ago. Now I am trying to log-in using this password but it is always rejected. I know that there is a warning when changing the password that if it is lost I will lose all Autofill data! But I am hoping there is a way around this problem.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Are you sure that you changed it? Try the old one just in case. Or try restarting Avant.

Thanks for the quick reply..
Yes I am sure I changed the password. I tried both old & new passwords.. but with no luck! I tried restarting Avant (and even restarting Windows) but this doesn't work either.
Is there a way to send the Autofill protection password to the email address that I use to login to my online storage? Isn't my password stored on my online storage space? can someone (you?) retrieve it from there?
Thanks again.

If the problem is connected to Online Storage then send a PM to the Recovery Team stating your details and they will look into it for you.

thank you all for your support. I contact the recovery team and I was able to go around the problem and restore my AutoFill data. Here is a part of their response for anyone who may need it:

However, you are able to get back those autofill items by importing them to local profiles: Switch out from online storage and go to File->import->user data from another account .Fill in the e-mail account & password and click Next and goes to Please choose what you want to import below: form and choose AutoFills. Then complete followed steps to import AutoFill items.

Thanks eng_asa, this worked a treat. I had changed my AutoFill password and could not get the new one to work when I tried a few days later.
