When I try to play a CD in my drive I get this error....

Restriction
"This operations has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this
computer. Please contact the Administrator."

How do I remove the restriction?

You might try looking in event viewer to see what the actual error was.

Try going to Start>Run type: regedit Navigate to
HKey_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current
Version\Policies\Explorer See if there's any entry in the rt pane denying
access to your cdrom. If yes, delete it.
