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.

To do that, use :

ps -aux | grep anydesk 

and kill all anydesk leftover processes, then restart anydesk.
