Reset TeamViewer Host password remotely

What:

Windows desktop with TeamViewer Host service installed

Problem:

You need to reset TeamViewer password for multiple computers.

Solution:

Below solution was tested on version 7 and 8

1. Install TeamViewer Host on test PC and set password.
2. Open up registry editor: Start > run
regedit.exe
3. Export following location to a tv_pass.reg file
For x64 computers:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\TeamViewer\Version8]
For x86 computers:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\TeamViewer\Version8]
 4. You will end up with a lot of entries, so delete all of them except "SecurityPasswordAES"

Password set to "password" will look like that in your reg file:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\TeamViewer\Version8]
"SecurityPasswordAES"=hex:dc,ae,d3,6e,d0,e6,4b,6d,93,22,0c,fb,99,07,31,8c,69,\
  ce,50,39,de,ee,97,11,d5,26,8b,92,a5,d8,81,c9
5. Copy .reg file to another PC and apply
6. Restart teamvewer service
7. Create a group policy to apply your hack to all workstations
