Any ideas where the Content Advisor Password in Internet Explorer is stored?

I had a user play a joke on another user, she set the Content Advisor with a password and is now she’s out of town for the next week and the restrictions are so tight that the browser is pretty much useless. So far the only info I have is that I should contact Microsoft.

IDEAS????

thanks!

Unfortunately, we don't if the lady thats out of town is "The Boss" or Mom http://discussions.virtualdr.com/smile.gif and maybe she turned on the password for a reason.

I can appreciate the skepticism Steve.

Actually both are attorneys and my guess is the female may have been "getting back" at the rather cocky male. On one had I find it extremely funny and find myself cheering for the female, on the other hand it’s a real pain in the butt.

Found the same article on support.microsoft and similar info on TechNet.

Appreciate the response

Under c:\windows\system, rename the 'ratings' file to something else. There is also a ratings.pol in c:\windows -mk
