Deleting forgotten Content Advisor password

It happened to me that I was just entering the password for the Content Advisor of ie6 and I guess I may have hit one wrong key and it altered the password that I wanted to have. When it happened I was stucked re-entering the password that I though was right. But to no avail. If you get caught on the same scenario here is the resolution:

Access your registry and tweak it:
1. Click Start, Run
2. At the run prompt type: regedit and press enter
3. Look for this folder:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MicrosoftWindows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Ratings

4. Select the icon called Key in the right-hand pane and press delete.
5. Close regedit.
6. Start Internet Explorer.
7. Goto Tools, Internet Options....
8. Select Content tab and click Disable. When asked for password don't enter anything just click OK. This will disable Content advisor. since there's no longer a password. You can enable it again as soon as you think of an easier password.
