    Can a child account do a factory reset on Xbox One?


    I'm considering purchasing an Xbox One and this is the main question that I have. I had a PS4 and I know a sub account could do a factory reset even with the parental controls on. So that was a deal breaker and I had to sell it. Can anyone check this
    for me?

    :)

    My first XBOX console

    Factory resetting is up to you, but if there are any digital games from the previous owner on there you'll lose them if you factory reset. From what I could tell it looks like Xbox Live is supported in Cyprus so you should be good and you can use pre-paid cards all you want but I do believe they require an address at least.

    My console keeps locking up every time I try and install a new game.

    In the most extreme case a factory reset maybe in order. What you can try to do first is a couple of things, remove your primary account from the xbox and then re-add the primary account (make sure you know the password). This will force xbox live to sync with the console. If you suspect you have networking issues, clear your mac address and hard reset the console. That is the easiest thing to try first. If the problem persists contact support. Also are you a member of the preview program or no ?

    Deleted adult account and now stuck as Unknown guest key

    Hello XBF/community,

    I’ve since found a similar thread below where the guy had zero accounts and did not know his guest key and was advised to do a hard factory reset ie deleting all apps.

    https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/xbox/forum/all/xbox-one-all-profiles-deleted-and-cant-remember/3b35e32b-3c59-4911-b9dc-077eab907fff?auth=1

    My further issue is that I have one child account and I’ve read that this reset may delete the account entirely which I want to avoid. The adult account that was removed may also be at risk.

    So my choices are:

    A) do nothing and use child account

    B) factory reset and maybe lose child account, maybe lose both ?

    C) first remove child account in the hope that both accounts are recoverable

    what do you think I should do ?

    Thanks

    Xbox 360 reset codes needed, family settings forgot password

    Make sure you are not unable to play games with 18 restrictions because you are on a child account...if you are on one, resetting your xbox to factory settings wont fix it, you will sign back on and have the same issues.

    RESTRICTED Auction House in FH5

    Hi Jesse, so we did the factory reset and setup again but sadly it didn't work :(.

    The only other thing I can think of is that its a child's account that's the problem.

    Do you think that's possible?

    Can progress in FH5 be transferred to a different adult gamertag?
