73404 2002-08-23 09:04:00 In Internet Properties, Content Advisor will not accept my password so that i can change the ratings. Is there any way i can bypass the system so i can wipe it and start afresh? peja (1129)
73405 2002-08-23 09:10:00 If you have forgotten the Content Advisor password, you can delete it by browsing to this folder in Start-Run-"Regedit" (remember to backup your registry first):

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion\Policies\Ratings
Select the icon called Key in the right-hand pane and press delete. Close Regedit.

You can now start Internet Explorer and goto Tools, Internet Options.... Select 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, since there's no longer a password. You can enable it again as soon as you think up a more memorable password.


Now this is the Registry, so if you mess it up you may have to reload Windows!! be careful in there...
