    -password <password>
    where:

If the Finish window for the Uninstaller program opens and the result of the removal process is successful, MDM is removed from your Windows system.

Post-processing requirements

The MDM removal program does not remove WebSphere Application Server V5 if it was installed by the MDM installation program. You must use the WebSphere Application Server V5 removal program to remove the WebSphere Application Server.

Modified files that were added to the Multiple Device Manager directory after the initial installation of MDM will not be removed by the removal program. If you have not yet removed WebSphere Application Server and it is installed under the Multiple Device Manager directory, you must not remove the Multiple Device Manager directory until you remove the WebSphere Application Server.

Remove the Multiple Device Manager directory manually after removing the WebSphere Application Server. Before removing the directory, check for any contents in the Multiple Device Manager directory that you want to preserve elsewhere.
