Been running AM2 forever and today received the error message upon starting AM2 "Padding is invalid and cannot be removed". Clicking OK ends AM2.

Tried restarting AM2, rebooting and restarting AM2, still same messsage.

You will need to delete the AccessManager.cfg and/or the AccessManager.config file. The file is located in one or more of the following folders:

C:\Users\’MyUserName’\AppData\Local\Citi-Software\Access Manager 2\
C:\Program Files\Citi-Software\Access Manager 2\
C:\Program Files (x86)\Citi-Software\Access Manager 2\
C:\Users\’MyUserName’\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Citi-Software\Access Manager 2\

Use Windows Explorer to search for and delete all copies of the configuration file and then try to start Access Manager again.

To view file extensions in Windows Explorer you can check the option under View tab called File name extensions.

If you are using the Professional version you will need to re-register your product key details after deleing the configuration file by clicking Tools then Register.
