Content Advisor passwords?

Question

My Grandad has been having problems with his internet since his NTL digibox broke and was replaced by the NTL man. Now no websites can be accessed without a content advisor pop up coming up asking for the password. He cannot remember setting this, although he was asked for a password for something, he has a few ideas as to what the password could be but none of them work. Is there anyway you could disable this content advisor pop up and get rid of the password? There is nothing he can do until this is got rid of as NO websites whatsoever can be viewed unless we find the password, not even google. Pleas help! :)

How to Remove Content Advisor Password in Internet Explorer

The following steps will remove any password set in the Internet Explorer Content Advisor and allow you to reset the program to its original state.
1) Click on Start and choose Run.

2) Type in RegEdit and select OK.

3) Now click on the little plus sign to the left of H_KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.

4) 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.

5) Now click on the Ratings folder.


6) In the right pane of the RegEdit window, you'll see an icon called Key. Click on it and press Delete.

7) Next, choose Registry and then Exit to exit RegEdit. You've just deleted your original Content Advisor password.

8) Restart the computer and run Internet Explorer again.

9) Choose View and then Internet Options (or Options for version 3.x). For IE 5 or greater, Click on Tools, Internet Options.

10) Click on the Content tab and click on Disable. When asked for a password, don't enter anything; just click on OK. This will disable Content Advisor because there's no longer a password.


11) When you reopen Internet Explorer, everything should work.
