My mom, 84 yrs old, must have entered something in the Content Advisor
for a password without realizing what she was doing. Now she does not
recall what could have happened. She was in IE-7 Options trying to
figure out how to reactivate auto-complete. I was busy and never should
have left her to do it herself.

Anyway now any use of IE receives a message from the Content Advisor
requiring a password and locking up web access til one is provided. There
is no way we can guess our way out of this.

I am hopeing there is a specific place in the registry or someplace else
that I can find the password so I can deactivate the Content Advisor for
her. I have worked with the registry before.

Only other alternative I can think of is to install Netscape. I really do
not want to do that. She would have to totally relearn how to use the new
browser.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions and advice.
