Content Advisor

"Hi, My PC Win XP at work has been converted into a paper weight by our IT guy. He has restricted nearly the entire web from being displayed. Is there any back door you know of for me to make the change in content advisor without knowing his admin log-on and password?";

First you should not crosspost duplicate questions. Choose one appropriate category and post there. Following is my answer to your other post:

Do you like your job? Your company owns your computer equipment and has the right to restrict its usage. I would suspect your IT guy took this step because he was tired of cleaning out problems caused by people who surfed the WEB without restrictions.

Once the company dictates rules for the use of its systems, it would be unethical for anyone to show you how to get around them. More importantly, you could be fired for doing so.

Do your surfing at home, not on the office's time.

Paper Weight

Hi,
No, there isn't any way to override the administrator's settings.
Best wishes,
fredg

That's not entirely true Fred, but then lack of truth hasn't stopped you from posting things in the past.

There are ways to get past the settings or to override them. But that's not something I would share with anyone because it would be unethical.

Administrators Settings

Hi,
Posting is a great thing.
One still cannot override the Administrators settings.

Again Fred, that's not entirely true. It is possible to do it. Don't you think its more important to make sure the most accurate information is posted?
