[ RESOLVED ] Tamper Protection Password (?!?)

[HowCanDo]

I've Googled the issue, but haven't seen any fixes: I keep getting the message that I have to enter in my Tamper Protection Password when I try to make certain edits or changes. I never made a TP password and my login password for my account doesn't work as the password. Also, the message states that if I've forgotten my password, that I would need to reinstall Malwarebytes, but to uninstall it I need the TP password. It's a catch 22! Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much! Cleaning and reinstalling it with the tool worked! Everything is fixed now!

It took me longer than my pride will let me admit to actually get right though. Who knew that clicking around in a blind panic and then rage quitting is not the way to go, heh.
