IE6 Content Advisor Password

[Bill]

MS IE6 Content Advisor has been set (not by ME) with a
'hint' of "old". Is this some sort of spyware? I have
Spybot and AdAware and run scans regularly. Where is
the password file stored so I can clean this up?

Hi

If you can't remember the password:

Short answer - you are 'screwed'.
Long answer - you are 'screwed', but with reservations.

Hi Bill

If you can't remember the CA password you will have to re-install XP.

You bet.

 

[Bill]

Yeah, right. If you can't be of help why do you hang
around this site? To misdirect people seeking help for a
problem, or to create problems of your own?

Hi Bill

'Mouthing off' will not help you. If you don't know the password for CA you are f* - I don't normally swear on the public NGs, but...

Stick it in your ear. I found the problem area and fixed
it. I'll mouth off to whom I please. Especially if they
are jerks.
