Please help, I've lost my deep freeze password. What do I do? I need to disable it but I forgot the password. Is there any software that can be used to uninstall it even if its enabled.

Try going to the bios and setting your system clock ahead 60 days. That should force the machine into a thawed state (trial or not).

There is some information here but I kinda doubt that will help unless you are using the trial version.
If you are feeling adventurous, you can try this process which I just made up (but probably won't work):
- Do a full backup with something like Acronis or CloneZilla and save to an external drive
- Boot a live CD like Knoppix
- From Knoppix, navigate over to where deep freeze is installed in windows
- Delete or move everything related to deep freeze so that it is unable to start with windows
- Restart and see what happened to windows (maybe even try safe mode)
If this totally messed up your computer, restore from backup.

- Download ADF Anti DeepFreeze
- Extract the .rar file
- Open ADF7 if you have version 7 and ADF for Df version6 below
- Then set it to start new

Use This tutorial:

In summary:
- You need 2 software : WinPE (or any windows live) and HexEditor
- Boot Your PC via Win Live
- Open Hex Editor in Win live and Edit "Persi0.sys" file which is in below path WinDrive:\Persi0.sys
- You must change one or two hex code to disable the password which is shown in tutorial.Offset no 184 from "7D" will change to "00"....Remember offset no 184 must be "7D", If it is not your Deep Freeze version not supported.
- After rebooting computer with main OS, You are able to uninstall the program because Deep freeze will be in unfrozen mode.
- This method only works for Deep freeze version 7 and higher, for earlier versions you can use ADF 0.1 up to ADF 0.5
- This Method discovered personally ,You can publish and use this method but Do not remove main author name and his email and remember to refer the reference link.
