Found on internet. I have not tried it and do not guarantee it.
The following steps will remove any password set in the Content
Adivisor 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)
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.
Needless to say, with any kind of Registry edit, do a backup first!
