content advisor

anybody know how or who i can talk to that may help me take off the content advisor password? i bought this computer from a friend and he bought it from his girlfriend. he was saying that there was never anything set on it, so are there any passwords that come already on the computer? if so what is it? instead of responding on this, please email me at customstang00@yahoo.com
thanks

Your question would be better answered in the Software - Windows XP forum where there is a lot more traffic than here in the Network forum which mainly deals with problems connecting to networks.  Good luck in the software fourms.

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, always clicking on the plus sign at the left of the named key, through Software, Microsoft, Windows, Current Version and Policies.

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.
 
Now check if it still asks for the password.. if it does then follow these steps
 
9) Choose View and then Internet Options (or Options for version 3.x). For IE 5 or greater, Click on Tools, 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.
