IE 5.5 Content Advisor problems- lost password

I recently started recieving error messages in IE 5.5 saying that files in the "Content Advisor" were missing, and that I should open up Content Advisor and fix things. When I go to Content Advisor on Internet Options and hit 'settings', I am prompted for a supervisor password. The thing is, I never recall even setting up content advisor in the first place, much less creating a password. MSIE will not access any web pages until Content Advisor is fixed, so for now I'm using Netscape. So here's the question: I've heard that there IS an override password hidden somewhere in Windows for this occassion. Does anyone know what it is?

Notes: I have tried reinstalling MSIE 5.0, 5.5, and even trying to reinstall Windows98 entirely, but this still hasn't been fixed.
 
Click start.. then run.. then type regedit
Search for this in your registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Ratings

Delete the key, this will delete the password for content advisor. If you are again prompted for a password just hit enter to bypass.
