How to Disable Content Advisor in Internet Explorer
 
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. 
 
Good luck!

Subject: [WEB4LIB] changing password for Internet Explorer Content
Advisor


Someone sat down at a colleague's PC and set the supervisor password on the
content advisor in Internet Explorer.  Does anyone know where we could go to
change or delete it without knowing the password that was set?  I'd prefer
not to have to uninstall and reinstall IE to fix this, but I guess that's my
backup plan.

Thanks
