XP SP2 Home Edition lost my Hint for Password

[repare]

I set up Content advisor with hint and password for niece's computer and now
it won't display hint or allow password login to change ratings.
I am unable to even access msn.com, microsoft.com, ibm.com.... and many
other sites as there is no rating for these pages.
I am logged on as adminstrator in safe mode and still cannot use login in
Content Advisor.

What are my options?

You need to edit the registry to delete the password. It's
located in the following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\policies\Ratings

Take a look here for the procedure:

You remember neither the password, nor the hint for the password? Sounds
like you are not the one who is controlling the PC. Bet you would like to!

Install a new browser?

Firefox is better than IE, anyway:

When it gets bad enough that the feds tell people not to use FireFox,
let me know.
