I have lost my password for the content advisor password for MS internet explorer and i was wandering if there is any way to either get it back or just remove it.
I have seen some programs that do this but i want to know how to do it manually.
 
Ciaran,

Backup the registry and/or export the following key:
Go To Start>Run, type regedit.
Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Ratings
and delete the Ratings key.

You'll also need to find a file called ratings.pol, which is a hidden file in c:\windows\system and delete it also.

To view hidden files open Explorer go to View>FolderOptions, click the View tab, and check Show All Files.
