Content Advisor password

[PhoenixHeat]

I installed Windows XP last night, without a hitch until
I went to go onto the Internet. I keep getting a message
about "Content Advisor will not allow you to go to this
website". I went into IE 6.0 and then to Internet
Options and then to the Content tab. The Content Advisor
was set and when I click either Disable or Settings it
wants a password. The regular supervisor password does
not work nor does any other password (like password)
work. Do any of you know how to reset the password? I
am in my 50s and not some kid trying to get past his
parents control of IE 6.0! Thanks,
PH

If you have forgotten the Internet Explorer content advisor password and
want to change the ratings settings then follow these instructions to change
the settings back to their defaults.

All the Content Advisor settings are stored in the key below. If you no
longer have the password, then simply delete the key, and all the settings
will be removed.

User Key:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Rating
s]
System Key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Policies\Ratin
gs]

Start>Run>regedit
Find the key/s shown above. Single click on the key to highlight it, press
the DELETE key, or alternatively select Delete from the Edit menu.

Close Internet Explorer, re-open it, and the Content Advisor feature should
now be disabled.
To check to see if it has been disabled:-
Click on Tools, Internet Options.
Click on the Content tab and click on Disable.
When asked for a password, don't enter anything; just click on OK.
This will disable Content Advisor because there's no longer a password.


Note you can save the registry key first by:
On the File menu, click Export.
In the File name box, type SaveKey, and then click Save.
Or create a system restore point prior to editing.
Note: If the registry key is not there, you can simply create one by going
edit > new.
