Someone has enabled content advisor on a machine and the password is
unknown. How can this be disabled without the password? Thanks,

1. Close all instances of IE.

2. Start -> Run -> type in REGEDIT Click OK

3. Navigate to the Key below:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Ratings

4. Right click on "Key" on right pane and choose delete.

5. Restart IE and disable the Content Password.

Guess this is also an easy way around it for some.
