The so called supervisor password is defined when you first activate the content advisor. The funny thing is that the password is still set even if you uninstall and install the Microsoft Internet Explorer again.
There is however an easy method to disable the content advisor password again and it is a typically example of weak security. If you can look it up on the Internet your kids can as well. All you need to do is delete two keys in the registry to disable the supervisor password which makes it possible to disable the content advisor or change settings to be able to visit all websites.

Now to disable the supervisor password go to the following registry key:
HKEY LOCAL MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ MICROSOFT \ Windows \ Current Version \ Policies \ Ratings
Delete the entry “key” and “hint” and restart your computer afterwards. The content advisor is not protected by a password anymore and you can change all settings or disable it without providing a password.
