Can't erase computer authorization

Guest
Aug 29, 2016 Aug 29, 2016

I have been trying to erase an authorization and every time it says I have the wrong password.  I change the adobe password and go back and try again and get the same answer every time.  I went to chat (case # 0219559779) and they couldn't help.  Is there a way to completely erase Adobe edition from my computer including the authorization so I can reinstall with a clean slate?  I have uninstalled the program (4.5) and reinstalled but it keeps showing the authorization.  I've tried regedit but there is no Adet folder to remove.  I'm using Windows 10

Thanks

Windows:

    Close all applications.

    Choose Start > Run.

    In the Open text box, type regedit and then press Enter. The Registry Editor opens.

    In the left pane of the Registry Editor, locate the following registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adept

    Select the Adept key.

    Choose File > Export.

    In the Export Registry File dialog box, select Selected Branch under Export Range. Enter a name and location for the backup registry key, and then click Save.

    Right-click the Adept key and choose Delete.

    In the Confirm Key Delete dialog, click OK.

    Close the Registry Editor.

    Open Adobe Digital Editions and reauthorize.

Macintosh:

    quit Adobe Digital Editions.

    Navigate to /Users//Library/Application Support/Adobe/Digital Editions and drag the activation.dat file to the trash.

    If you are using 10.7, see https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/access-hidden-user-library-files.html

    Open Adobe Digital Editions and reauthorize.
