supervisor password lost
Posted by Kasey on January 22nd, 2006


I have lost my own supervisor password and the hint tells me nothing. I've
tried all the suggestions I found on this site, but I'm not interested in
buying software/downloads and when I run regedit, I do not have the option to
use the delete key on the one icon that shows up in the right hand side of
the regedit window. It says it is unable to delete all specified values.

Hate to beat a dead horse by asking this question again, but I can't seem to
erase/change the password.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thank you. 1, 2 anddon't apply and I've tried 3, 4, 6 and 7. It's not the
administrator password that's a problem (there is none) it's the supervisor
password. I don't have another computer and I'm not "technical" enough to
attempt anything else. I have access to anything except changing my ratings.

Thanks again though - the simplest thing to do would have been writing it
down, but it's too late now!

What program is asking for it?

the only one I know is in BIOS and that would require, in most cases,
opening the case and resetting the Bios to get rid of.

I set it up on internet security through internet connections. It's under
internet properties and then under content. It's a content advisor (sorry I
didn't have that in my post) and it controls the ratings(?) or what I am
allowed to view on my computer. I didn't have a good spysweeper at the time
and had been receiving bogus pop-ups everytime I went online. Now I can't
disable it.

Thank you for asking!

Greetings,


The best solution for this problem I see is to use Active@ Password
Changer tool. That is a small utility that can quickly perform the
trick. It will reset yuor forgotten pass in no time. That should
definately help.
