Someone put a password on my Internet Explorer

[hcrawford]

Help! Someone has anonynously put a password on my IE with absolute minimum levels for all content. I can use Netscape, but really prefer IE.
I don't know if anyone can help me out, or if they have password/security issues, but it's worth asking.
I have tried uninstalling & reinstalling IE but it kept the old settings.
I have tried with all our administrative passwords as well.
Whoever pulled this prank is not coming forward.
Is there a way to reset or reinstall IE without the stupid password?

Soft4you is a site with software to get tp passwords on your system. The pwl file reader is a real eye opener, but go to

http://soft4you.com/iewd/index.html

for an IE password reader. You could hack the registry, but this is real interesting!

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~
