Morning all.

Yup, that's right my son has decided to test out the site content filter for IE6 on my PC.

After a bit of wall cracking yelling I decided to come to my senses and post with you guys, who have been my saviours in the past, to see if you had any solutions to my dilemma.

Is there any way to reset the Content Advisory password or disable it?

Thanks in advance either way.

Hei!

Maybe there is an easy way to reset the Content Advisory password I don't know about, but, anyway, there's a program that can do it for you (link is bellow). Never used myself.. didn't have to.. 'cause I use Mozilla.

First, quit all instances of Internet Explorer. Then open Registry Editor and browse to this key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Ratings

There is a REG_BINARY type named "Key" here... delete that. Now if you try to modify or disable the Content Advisor, it will prompt you to set a new password.

Hi, I made a program that can disable content advisor in a click.
