supervisor password

I've got a problem with the supervisor password (that's what it is called in the Dutch Internet Explorer). The restrictions are on so that the kids cannot use internet, but..... even I can't get on the internet without doing a lot of things first. What I am trying to do now is to put the restriction off again, but it seems to be impossible to get the supervisorpassword completely off the computer. Everytime I start IE, it keeps asking for the password. Can anyone please help me solving this problem??
I couldn't find anything about this topic in the help-option of IE and a computershop nearby is willing to help but that costs a lot of money.(about $40).
Please help me!!

Greetings from the Netherlands, Willemijn.

Important Notice: This information involves changing your Windows registry. Incorrect changes to the registry could result in permanent data loss or corrupted files. Please make sure that you delete only the key specified. We suggest that you back up your registry before continuing.
The information is provided as is without warranty of any kind, either express or implied. In no event shall E-Net Information Services be liable for any damages or interruption to the operation of your computer as a result of performing these steps.

The following steps will remove any password set in the Content Advisor and allow you to reset the program to its original state.

1) Click on Start and choose Run.

2) Type in RegEdit and select OK.

3) Now click on the little plus sign to the left of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.

4) Continue to expand down, always clicking on the plus sign at the left of the named key, through Software, Microsoft, Windows, Current Version and Policies.

5) Now click on the Ratings folder.

6) In the right pane of the RegEdit window, you'll see an icon called Key. Click on it and press Delete.

7) Next, choose Registry and then Exit to exit RegEdit. You've just deleted your original Content Advisor password.

This will disable Content Advisor.

I presume E-Net Information Services is the site you borrowed that from Degs?
