advice for Xbox One Dad & profiles for kids

Hi,

Got the kids an xbox one for xmas & we survived the sign-in crash on xboxing day ;-). So among all of this, we managed to stuff a few things up as n00bs.

- Son setup a new?/unknown email address at the initial out of box setup & redeemed one of the game codes that came with the game. This Account is still setup on the xbox, but we have no idea what the password is. Tried everything we thought it would
be, alternative email address is possibly missing a character off the end. We dont get a password recovery email when we try. We dont have enough information to do the extended recovery process, i.e. emails we've received ect. says we dont have enough information.

- There was a game code redemption (Advanced Warfare) redeemed against my sons 'new account' which I would really like to get transferred over my account which I setup last night after all the kids were in bed, i.e. the one I'm using now.

Questions:

1. is there a way to recover this password from this account? or is there a way to rollback this account creation & redemption & do it against my own account? Do I do a license transfer? What's the path of least resistance here?

2. What account structure/profile should I have setup for me & my 2 boys, who are both minors & dont have email addresses (yet). Can they just use my account? If it is recommended they get their own profiles, then can i limit their access in some way?
I have my own .com domain so if they are going to use an email address, I'll give them one of those instead of an outlook.com ect. All they really want to do is play their games offline & be able to perform save games. We found out today save games dont
work so well with profiles as the xbox expects to sign-in over the internet..

3. Any links to practical advice on how to fix this n00b mess & how to setup a proper structure would be appreciated.

There should be a warning with xbox gifts for xmas that santa needs to unbox it before hand & have it all setup in advance, especially game loads & updates. My simplistic 1980's mind had me thinking i could just buy the console & some games & we'd be up
& running in 30 mins, with most of that time spent swatting behind the tv plugging in cables.

Thanks

New Concern for Home Gold

You see how all the hate has helped nothing? Being positive about things is what really makes things happen.

Here's a question: Let's say you're a dad who has a family with 2 or more Xbox Ones - if you take your profile off of the primary console (yours) & put it onto a secondary console (your son's), will that give him access to gold features as well?

In any case, I'd buy games with the profile for whoever's going to play it the most - even your son's silver account should still be capable of making purchases online (although this could be made more difficult with age-related safeguards) that way, they'll
have the easiest time accessing it. This idea will work great for games like Sesame Street that the dad won't play, but unfortunately doesn't really work for older kids who might like to play Call of Duty, for example, when their dad likes to play it too -
in that case, it might be a good idea for the kid to have some sort of allowance (from mom) or job to pay for it himself (that way he "earns" it), & the dad gets his own too while not having to further bear the financial burden.
