Removing the password from Internet Explorer's Content Advisor

If you have forgotten the password you created for the Content Advisor and want to disable it so you can get into the Content Advisor again, navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ Windows\ Current Version\Policies

Click Ratings, look to right, Click line below Default, press delete, enter. Leave default line only in right pane. Close registry editor. Next click start, find, files and folders, type "ratings.pol" (without the quotes) in top line, C: in bottom, find now. When this file is found, delete it. This will remove password set, and leave content advisor fully operable. Next time, choose a password you can remember.
