Windows 7 Parental Controls - How to Disable?

Question

On Windows 7, I'm getting an error saying that "Parental Controls can be bypassed because there is an administrator account without a password." The issue is that there are no other accounts. I had tried working with a test account called Child to experiment with parental controls.

How do I now just completely disable parental controls so that I don't get this warning message at startup?

The odd thing is that the error message states that "As long as an administrator account has no password, any user can bypass or turn off parentals controls." Which is exactly what I want to do. I just don't know how to navigate to the right control panel to turn off parental controls.

Thanks,

Adam

Answer 1

Does your primary account have a password? If not, create one. Then in the control panel turn off parental controls.

Answer 2

its as simple as this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cLPnU2JFms open user accounts click on your account then goto user account control near the bottom you will see a bar adjust it to the level you want it this controls how you are notified including parental control thought one of you wise cracks woul;d have known this messin about with passwords and all that rubbish lmao gl

This will downgrade the protection level of the whole system. Not advisable for what you want!
