We are having problems with IE5 Content advisor.

Disabling it within the IE settings, still requests a password.

The only way round this problem , is to do a complete software rebuild of the pc.

We are in a school enviroment.

Any answers

Deleting a forgotten Content Advisor password

If you have forgotten the Content Advisor password, you can delete it by browsing to this folder in Regedit (remember to backup your registry first):

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Ratings
Select the icon called Key in the right-hand pane and press delete. Close Regedit.

You can now start Internet Explorer and goto View, Internet Options.... Select the Content tab, and click on Disable. When asked fora password, don't enter anything, just click on OK. This will disable Content Advisor, since there's no longer a password.

Go to osiris.978.org/~brianr/nopics-ie/ and download one of the packages. I recommend No PICS which resolves a problem with Content Advisor. Add this package to your registry and use password 12345 to disable Content Advisor.
