Default content advisor

!! PLEASE HELP !! my young son entered a supervisor
password for the content advisor. now, of course he
doesn't remember and we cannot disable or change settings
because the password must be entered to do anything. is
there a way to retreive or bypass this? i sincerely hope
someone can help - it is difficult to use the internet
when everything is restricted.

Thank you

Content Advisor - Go he
http://www.pchell.com/support/contentadvisor.shtml and do what it says
and/or see here to disable it completely or toggle it:
http://osiris.978.org/~brianr/nopics-ie/

Here’s the basic procedure, but refer to the link above if you need
more detail: Go to Start|Run and then enter "regedit" (without the
quotes). and then navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion\Policies\Ratings

Select the "Key" entry in the right-hand pane and
Delete it. Now go to Registry|Exit to close Regedit.

Now you’ll be able to disable Content Advisor by opening IE6 and going
to Tools|Internet Options|Content. Click on "Disable". Then click
on "OK" when you’re asked for a password - don’t enter anything.
OK out and CA is disabled.

Alternatively, see he http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_abc.htm
under Content Advisor under "C" for info and specialized .vbs
scripts to turn it on and off and to modify specific settings.

If you wish to restore Content Advisor to its original condition
(because of your kids) you can obtain a Microsoft program
(CA-Reset.exe - 89.5K) to do this he
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/regs_edits/CA-Reset.exe (listed on
line 283) NOTE: Using CA-Reset will completely delete your Approved
List - everything starts like brand new, so consider this before you
use it.
