Get Rid of Content Advisor Password

Internet Explorer has a feature called the Content Advisor which allows one to specify content settings so as to make the net child-safe. Once enabled, you can set a password to keep your kid from getting in and changing settings. However, if the password is forgotten, you need to get around it somehow. There are utilities on the internet to help you out with this, but you can also easily disable it via the registry. To do this, open REGEDIT by typing going to the Start Menu, choosing Run and typing REGEDIT and hitting Enter. Navigate to the the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Microsoft > Windows > CurrentVersion > policies > Ratings. In the right frame, highlight the “Key” entry and hit Delete. When you are done, close REGEDIT and restart Internet Explorer. Once you restart, make sure the content advisor is disabled and you’re back in business.

The usual warning goes to on use of REGEDIT. Be very careful altering your registry and it can cause damage if you don’t know what you’re doing.

works to disable content advisor meaning you can use IE to browse,
HOWEVER, it does NOT remove the password protection from content advisor
and therefore if you ever want to enable content advisor, you’ll still need
the password!
