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 then select 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 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) 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.

Registry Editing is done so at your own risk.
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.
