If you want to remove the password of the Content Advisor and want to reset in the original state than you have to follow these steps.

• Click on Start and choose Run.
• In the text box type RegEdit and select OK.
• Now click on the little plus sign to the left of H_KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
• Continue to drill down, always clicking on the plus sign at the left of the named key, through Software, Microsoft, Windows, Current Version and Policies.
• Now click on the Ratings folder.
• In the right pane of the RegEdit window, you'll see an icon called Key. Click on it and press Delete.
• Next, choose Registry and then press Exit to exit RegEdit. You've just deleted your original Content Advisor password.
• Restart the computer and run Internet Explorer again.
• Select view and then click on internet options.
• Now Click on the Content tab and click on Disable option button.This will disable Content Advisor because there's no longer a password.

Internet Explorer has a special feature called Content Advisor that allows supervisors to restrict the web sites that the users browses.
The supervisor can set a password in order to prevent from other users from changing the Content Advisor properties.
You have not mentioned why you want to change the password . If you have forgotten the password, you cannot change the Content Advisor properties in the regular way. The simplest way to solve this problem is to delete the password in the Registry. This is the only way out if you want to change the password.

Hey I am also facing the same problem but in a slightly different manner. My problem is that I have not forgotten the password but i just want to change it. I have followed the steps which are given in the above post but when I reach to step 5 it is giving me some error. I really dont know what the problem really is but I guess that its some "missing information error" . I have tried many times but i am continuously getting the same error. Is that my windows is corrupted or something else, please help me to sort this problem.
