I've got an XP box with Content Advisor activated on IE7. Unfortunately, I don't know the password. I already tried unistalling and reinstalling IE to no avail.

How can I reset the password?

Thanks!

    Two items are created in the registry when the supervisor password is created.

    HKEY LOCAL MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ MICROSOFT \ Windows \ Current Version \ Policies \ Ratings

    Delete the entry “key” and “hint” and restart your computer afterwards. The content advisor is not protected by a password anymore and you can change all settings or disable it without providing a password.

    Hope that works.
