Company Description:
Lastbit Software provides you the software Internet Explorer Password (Lastbit) that is a password recovery program for IE Content Advisor. Content Advisor was initially designed as a security feature and a tool to monitor website ratings to prevent
minors from accessing adult websites. Since the rating technology never became widespread, this feature is basically useless, and may effectively block the usage of Internet Explorer. If you lose or forget a password to your Content Advisor, you will
be unable to use Internet Explorer, since most websites have no rating at all. Internet Explorer Password solves this problem by recovering a password and letting you turn the Content Advisor off.
