Is there a way to override my content password that I forgot?&nbsp;&nbsp;It won't let me view any site that is not rated (i.e. most of them).<br><br>I have tried reinstalling and that does not work.

The password can be deleted as follows:<br><br>Open the registry editor and go to the key:<br><br>[H_KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE]\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\ratings<br><br>In the right pane of the RegEdit window, you'll see an icon called Key, click on it and press Delete.<br><br>Shut the registry editor.<br><br>Shutdown explorer.<br><br>Go back into explorer, you can now get to contents advisor without a password.
