Q: I used the Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) Content Advisor to block access to certain websites for my kids on my home PC, but I forgot my supervisor password. How can I reset or delete the supervisor password?

A: To delete your existing supervisor password, delete the encrypted supervisor password blob that IE stores in a registry entry called Key, which is located under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Ratings. The standard registry tools regedit and regedt32 can be used to delete the key. Once the key has been deleted, you must close and restart IE
