    Trying to setup my son’s Xbox for my grandson

    It’s asking for my son’s PIN number and I don’t have that number

    My son is incarcerated and I can’t get that number from him

    I tried to create a new account and password but can’t get it to work

    Any help would be appreciated

    Thank you

    :)

    Hello, I hope you are well.

    Please try these steps.

    If your Xbox is asking for your child's account PIN to sign in or make a purchase, and you don't have that PIN, you need to follow a process to recover or reset the PIN. The console may require you to enter your Microsoft account password to proceed.

    To reset the PIN:

    Sign In Attempt: When prompted, enter a 6-digit combination repeatedly (up to 3 times).

    Reset: If the PIN is incorrect, the console may ask for your Microsoft account password.

    New PIN: Follow the instructions to create a new 6-digit PIN and confirm.

    If you forget your PIN:

    Microsoft Account Password: If you don't remember your PIN, the console will ask for your Microsoft account password.

    Reset: Use your Microsoft account password to reset the PIN.

    If you can't access your account:

    Restart the Console: A restart may help fix sign-in issues.

    Removing and Adding the Account: Removing the account and then adding it again may resolve sign-in issues.

    Restore Factory Settings: As a last resort, you can restore the console to factory settings, but this will erase all data

    Microsoft Family changing roles Member/Organizer

    This is April 2020 and this service has been available for several years.

    I have been trying to get my grandson who is on a Nintendo Switch to be able to connect to my realm so he can play with me when he is at home.

    There are a ton of tutorials on how to change his settings to Join Multiplayer game and You can create and join clubs. This is supposed to be able to be set up by a parent or adult in the family.

    Yet absolutely nothing shows those two settings for an adult to set up for a child in Microsoft Family or Xbox Live. The grandson has a account on Xbox live as do I and his mother.

    Still will not let us change those two settings. Always shows he does not have permissions.

    Really hard to believe this is so complicated.
