Yes. You may use the override password to bypass Content Filtering by temporarily whitelisting websites that have been flagged as containing unwanted material. When you enter your override password, you will be able to select the length of time that you would like to whitelist the website from the following options: 15 minutes, 30 minutes, one hour, two hours, four hours, 24 hours, or indefinitely.
