Content Advisor Password

[Transition]

Alright - i've got a laptop here from someone at my work who magically aquired the content advisor to be active and require a password. Already tried every known password (including all defaults, and all the passwords that this person normally uses). I even tried uninstalling as much of Internet Explorer as i could (impossible to get rid of it completely). But even after deleting what i thought was all traces of IE5, i intalled a fresh version of IE6 and the content advisor password was still there. I can't use IE at all on this machine now, since it restricts all websites. Anyone have an idea how i can get rid of the content advisor password? My only known solution at this moment is to format the HD.

Any help is appreciated.

I believe renaming or deleting any .pol files on you computer will do the trick.
It's been a while since I helped someone solve this problem, so anyone tell me if I'm wrong!

Oh i think you're right, but i believe it's PWL files. I'll give it a shot

Negatory captain. Removed 2 PWL files, and 0 POL files were located on the hard drive. Still this password remains. Hrm..

Any other ideas?

When the computer has restarted load Internet Explorer

Click on INTERNET OPTIONS
Click on the SECURITY tab
Click on DISABLE RATINGS
Click on OK without entering anything when prompted for a password
Click on OK when warned that Content Advisor has been disabled

You should now be able to view sites again correctly.

Haha. Good job, bacillus. My tech support days are long behind me and I still get spasms remembering how to fix Windows problems.
