How to remove password in IE?

A friend of mine's kids had some friends over to their house and played on the computer and entered a password for Content Advisor in IE's Internet Options. Now my friend can't connect to the internet. His kids don't know the password. He's tried to de-activate ''content advisor'', but is always prompted for the password. Is there a way to disable or remove the password through Windows registry? He's running Win98 and IE4. (He had IE5.5, but I suggested he remove IE 5.5 in hoping it would also remove the password, but that didn't work).
 
Here's what to do: (taken from another site)

Start RegEdit. Click + in front of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, + in front of SOFTWARE, + in front of Microsoft, + in front of Windows, + in front of Current Version, + in front of Policies, Click Ratings, look to right, Click line below Default, press delete, enter. Leave default line only in right pane. Close registry editor. Next click start, find, files and folders, type "ratings.pol" in top line, C: in bottom, find now. When this file is found, delete it. This will remove password set, and leave content advisor fully operable.

Hope this helps you out.
