Dear all,

Recently I have a user who set a password in the Content Advisor(Internet Options). But she forgotten the password. Is there any ways which I can change the registry or do anything to lift the password or reset the password?

Right now the IE 5.0 is unable to browse or surf. When connected, it always stays at "about:blank".

Please kindly mail me at libroos7@singnet.com.sg

Thank you.

You can clear out the existing password by deleting the following value:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Ratings\Key

There may also be a sub-key .default. If the file %systemroot%\System\Ratings.pol exists, delete it or rename it. Reboot. In Internet Explorer, go to Tools | Internet Options and click the Content tab. Click Enable Ratings and specify a new password.
