Heres a tip I saved quite a while back.
If you've forgotten the Internet Explorer content advisor password and want
to change the ratings settings then follow these instructions to change the
settings back to their defaults.
All the Content Advisor settings are stored in:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Ratings]
If you no longer have the password, then simply delete the key, and all the
settings will be removed.
Open you registry, find the key. Single click on the key to highlight it,
press the DELETE key, or alternatively select Delete from the Edit menu.
Close Internet Explorer, re-open it, and the Content Advisor feature should
be disabled.
Regards,
