Help !!!!!! (Content Advisor)

M

Mikey boy

I turned on the content advisor on my HP Pavillion. Put in
the supervisor pass word twice. Then I went back a few
days later to shut it off. Do dice! I will not take my
password. What do you do if you can't put in the pass
word???
I tried everthing.Even went to Microsoft website and
looked up content advisor. All it says is how to turn it
on and off using the pass word1 What if it doesn't take
it. Is there some other way of turning it off????
I can't do anything now! It won't let me get on the
internet!!!!!

The following steps will remove any password set in the Internet Explorer
Content Advisor and allow you to reset the program to its original state:

1. Click on Start and choose Run.

2. Type in RegEdit and select OK.

3. Now click on the little plus sign to the left of H_KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.

4. Continue to drill down through Software, Microsoft, Windows, Current Version and Policies.
Always click on the plus sign at the left of the named key.

5. Now click on the Ratings folder.

6. In the right pane of the RegEdit window, you'll see an icon called Key. Click on it and press Delete.

7. Next, choose Registry and then Exit to exit RegEdit. You've just deleted your original Content Advisor
password.

8. Restart the computer and run Internet Explorer again.

9. Choose View and then Internet Options

10. Click on the Content tab and click on Disable. When asked for a password, don't enter anything;
just click on OK. This will disable Content Advisor because there's no longer a password.
