Warning!!!: Using the Windows Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems requiring the re-installation of your operating system and possible loss of data. I do not and will not support problems that arise from you editing your own registry. Use the Registry Editor and my directions at your own risk. Be sure that you create a backup of your registry and be very sure that you know how to restore it. If you are not sure how to do both of these things then STOP here!! and read the directions.

 

  1. Click on Start and choose Run.
  2. Type in RegEdit and select OK.
  3. Now click on the little plus sign to the left of H_KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
  4. Continue to drill down, always clicking on the plus sign at the left of the named key, through Software, Microsoft, Windows, Current Version and Policies.
  5. Now click on the Ratings folder.
  6. In the right pane of the RegEdit window, you'll see an icon called Key. Click on it and press Delete.
  7. Next, choose Registry and then Exit to exit RegEdit. You've just deleted your original Content Advisor password.
  8. Restart the computer and run Internet Explorer again.
  9. Choose View and then Internet Options (or Options for version 3.x). For IE 5 or greater, Click on Tools, Internet Options.
  10. Click on the Content tab and click on Disable. When asked for a password, don't enter anything; just click on OK. This will disable Content Advisor because there's no longer a password.
