My daughter enabled content advisor in Internet Options and does not remember the password she assigned. She is unable to view Web pages. I upgraded the browser to Internet Explorer 6 and it copyed the 5.5 settings giving me the same results. What are my options to remove "Content Advisor" password?

You will need to remove a key from the registry, where the passeword is saved.
Open regedit.exe and search the tree in order to find: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion \Policies\Ratings
Place a click under policies (turns on blue), and then press delete. Boot your pc and then from ie properties disable the content manager (without starting it!)
