Default Supervisor Password

We set a supervisor password when we got our computer, but we don't know what
it is. How can we reset our supervisor password so we can block certain
sites on the internet from our children?

I never use it myself and have not tried this solution but see the article
in the link below which may help. --- Steve

How to Remove Content Advisor Password in Internet Explorer
The following steps will remove any password set in the Internet Explorer
Content Advisor and allow you to reset the program to its original state.

1) Click on Start and choose Run.

2) Type in RegEdit and select OK.

3) Now click on the little plus sign to the left of H_KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.

4) Continue to drill down, always clicking on the plus sign at the left of
the named key, through Software, Microsoft, Windows, Current Version and
Policies.

5) Now click on the Ratings folder.

6) In the right pane of the RegEdit window, you'll see an icon called Key.
Click on it and press Delete.

7) Next, choose Registry and then Exit to exit RegEdit. You've just deleted
your original Content Advisor password.

8) Restart the computer and run Internet Explorer again.

9) Choose View and then Internet Options (or Options for version 3.x). For
IE 5 or greater, Click on Tools, Internet Options.

10) 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.

Hi,

You can reset lost password with Active@ password changer tool. It is
small yet powerful and reliable, it really helped me before in a
simmilar situations.
