Ask him what the password is. Otherwise, you will have to use the RESTORE disk and start reinalling from scratch.
But Mozilla Firefox is a better and safer browser.
Here is a new family rule:
- DO NOT set any passwords. That is only for your Mom and Dad to set up.
- DO NOT keep any secrets on the computer. Your Mom and Dad should always know what you are doing on the computer.
- Talk to your parents about your computer use and whenever someone tries to reach you that you do not know.
Remember, if you just fix it, then your brother will only do it again. Get your parents involved in this issue.

3) Now click on the little plus sign to the left of H_KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
4) Continue to drill 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.
8) Restart the computer and run Internet Explorer again.
9) Choose View and then Internet Options (or Options for version 3.x)
10) Click on the Content tab and click on Disable. When asked for a password, don't enter anything; just click on OK. This will disable Content Advisor because there's no longer a password.

call your little brother to put the password in

Well, you could beat him senseless untill he undid the password (which I don't suggest), or you could attempt to bypass it using a service such as http://proxify.us/ or something like that.
