Cannot access security panel from anydesk

When I go to enable the security settings on anydesk, It asks for my password and then does nothing after. I cannot set up unattended access, which is what I need to be able to work on that machine. Any ideas?

This worked for me: Setting the password using the command line https://support.anydesk.com/Command_Line_Interface

echo mynewpassword | sudo anydesk --set-password 

the echo password | sudo anydesk —set-password fix does work but you need to completely restart anydesk for it to take place.

and kill all anydesk leftover processes, then restart anydesk .

Based on @padje answer, I suggest you this one-line command for restarting completely anydesk :

kill $(ps -aux | grep anydesk | awk '') | anydesk --service 

• ps -aux would show every active processes
• grep anydesk would find every anydesk processes running, displayed into ps output
• awk » would take the PID column (which is the 2nd)
• kill closed every commands refered to PIDs given by combinaison of 3 previous command ( ps + grep + awk ). You can also add the -9 option to kill , to force them to close (notably when they are totally frozed)
• anydesk —service would start again anydesk (correct me in comment if I do a mistake here

NB : this type of command line can be used for some software, when you want to restart them manually (and when you can’t use service restart )
