It appears that quite a few people have had your problem. The solution
involves opening and editing your Windows registry. Since extreme
caution needs to be taken in doing this, it is advisable to make a
backup copy of your registry first. I've included links below on how
to first back up and restore your registry files.
I've cut and paste the steps from Idaho State University help (link
below):
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)
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.
Hopefully that does what you need. If you're looking for any more
information, or need more help, please ask for a clarification.
