Hi, I got this from
http://www.digitalspider.co.uk/ie/tips/content_advisor_password.html
It applys to IE5, but I would think that it is applicable to other versions.

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\Rating
s
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 for a password,
don't enter anything, just click on OK. This will disable Content Advisor,
since there's no longer a password. You can enable it again as soon as you
think up a more memorable password.

Which version of IE are you dealing with?
I have a client woth IE 3 where this also happened. The further error
message added that the content advisor files were not found. As with you,
clicking the disable option did nothing. My next solution was to reinstall
IE 3 (since files were missing). Awaiting the results...
I don't believe in coincidences. In 2 days I've ran into the exact same
problem on 2 different computers and cannot figure out how it happened or
how to solve it.
Has anyone come across this before? Neither person can access the internet
because of this and formatting is starting to seem like the only option but
not really the most popular.
Any advice please. I've been to the Microsoft site but nothing there that
can help.
Thank you,
Michael J. Murray
