Haven't had to employ them myself, but there are lots of password revealers/crackers out there.
 
If you haven't fix your problem yet you can try this. Run regedit goto<br><br>HKEY LOCAL MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\Windows\Current Version\Policies\Ratings<br><br>there will be a key there labelled &quot;key&quot;,. That key holds the encrypted content advisor Supervisor password. Delete that key.<br><br>always remember to back up your registry before you edit.<br>
 
I had this problem at a school who's network me manage.&nbsp;&nbsp;Some kid was turning on the CA password.&nbsp;&nbsp;I could find no way around it and managed to find this explicitly written in Microsoft's Technet Article 'Limiting Access to Internet Content With RSACI Rating System' [Q171985]:<br><br>'Be sure to write down your supervisor password and store it in a safe place. For your protection, this password is highly secure. If you forget it, you must reinstall Windows 95 to create a new one.'<br><br>After we imaged al the machines that had been affected we turned off the ability to edit the CA settings through registry keys...you might want to look into this.&nbsp;&nbsp;Sorry.<br>
