How can I disable Content Advisor , since I forgot the Password 1

[essa2000]

Dears ;

I enabled Content Advisor and enter random password which I forgot now. But, now I can't open Internet sites in Internet Explorer 5.0 b/c it prompts me to enter password. I am in trouble b/c I don't want to Reinstall Windows 98.

Scenario:
Step1: Go to Internet Options
Step2: Select Content tab
Step3: See a frame Content Advisor
Step4: Press Enable Button
Step5: Give Password

It was the complete Scenario which I did but Now I can't disable it please help me out.

the password can be deleted from the registery......go to Start->Run and type regedit and hit enter.
You'll see a window with two panes. Down the left will be a list of entries with plus signs (+) next to them. Click the plus sign in front of the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" entry. It will turn into a minus sign (-) and a sub-menu will open to reveal a list of further entries with more plus signs next to them.

Next click the plus sign in front of "SOFTWARE", then "Microsoft", and then "Windows", "Current Version", and finally "Policies".

In the "Policies" list click once on "Ratings". Look to the right pane of the registry editor. There should be two listings. One says "Default", the other says "Key". Select "Key" with your mouse and press the Delete key to remove it.

Leave "Default" and any other entries as is. Close the Registry. Start Internet Explorer and you should have no probs there....

hope this helps!!! Jay~

You may also need to delete the hidden ratings.pol file in the c:\windows\system directory.
