I am a Computer Teacher at a 1-8grade school. One of my students went into the properities of the IE5.5 and Enabled the Content Advisor. To Disable the content advisor I need a password. I do not know which student did this, so it makes it almost impossibe to know the password. The computer is now unable to go on the internet. The content advisor keeps popping up wanting a password. Is there a way to reset the Content advisor without having to reinstall Win98? Help

Is this the Content Advisor Supervisor password? Microsoft has an .exe that you can run to reset it. You have to wade through the MS tech support phone lines to get to someone that can email it to you.
If you can't wade through the phone lines, then email me and I'll see if I can find it from one of my clients that had to use it.
