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.

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.
