A good friend of mine has 3 kids. He was very worried about protecting his kids from porn, so in a panic, he turned on Parental Controls. His mistake was that he entered a password and did not write it down. He did not use the laptop for a week after setting the password. It was just some number that he can no longer remember. Now that he wants to accually use the laptop, he can not open most of the pages he wants to visit (NON-PORN).
Is there a was to reset the password or turn it off?
He only has IE on his laptop. Would Firefox used the same controls?
Thanks.
Answer
You can remove the setting from the registry. Check out this post on how. Basically, this the Ratings key here ...
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
