Recover Internet Explorer Options password, WinXp

by jdclyde . Updated 16 years, 1 month ago

Hi all, have a friend who wanted to set the internet options to block out porn (has a “curious” son) but their was already a pass on this and she doesn’t know what it is. (home user, her personal computer, trying to restrict her 14 year old son)

Need to reset the pass so we can block the porn access, feel free to peer me a reply if you don’t feel comfortable in posting a “hack” on the open forum.

Also interested in other suggestions on how to restrict the internet on this system. She does not have a router (yet, but working on that. single mom, very limited income).

I realize IE settings won’t stop FF or chrome, so looking to find a way to restrict this. For now she is going to physically take the Ethernet cable with her when she goes to work, but everyone knows the kid only needs $10 to resolve that issue quickly.

Looked at software but the nanny stuff I have seen starts at around $40. Would rather avoid that as a solution if possible.

Thanks all.
