    Changing child account to adult account


    I made xbox account years ago for Minecraft. But I didn't have much interest in realms back then. Now when I check it, it says my account is child account and can't play realms, and I need an adult account to promote me to child account. I made this account
    alone. And none of my parents or old relatives don't have xbox account. What am I supposed to do?

    :)

    Adult to child Account

    How do we change an adult account to a child account. We tried changing the birthdate, but it still says it is an adult account.

    Changing child account to adult account

    Hello, hopefully this helps. If not I recommend contacting Xbox support.

    1. Sign in to the adult's Microsoft account at Xbox.com.
      If you’ve forgotten your account email address or password, see the Lost Account Solution or the Lost
      Password Solution
      .
    2. Under My Xbox, select Profile.
    3. Select Privacy settings or Online safety on Xbox One.
      Due to the secure nature of these settings, you may be asked to enter a security code that we’ll send to the alternate phone number or email address previously saved to your account.
    4. Select the account you want to look at.
    5. Review the settings currently in place and update those you want to change.
    6. Save your changes on each tab before moving on to the next.
    From your Xbox One console
    Change privacy and safety settings for you or a child
    1. Sign in to your Xbox. (If you’re changing the settings for a child, sign in using an adult’s account.)

    3. Select Settings > All Settings.
      For your account:

    Manage app privacy settings
    When you download apps from Microsoft Store, each app requires permission to access data from your console.
    1. On your Xbox One console, select Settings > Privacy & online safety > App privacy.
    2. Choose from the list what you’d like to give permission for by selecting the check boxes.
    If you’re signed in with a child account, you’ll need your parent to sign in and give permission for apps to access your data.

    2. Go to Settings > Family.

    How can I switch my adult account to a childs account and make a new adult account

    You can change a child account to an adult account, but you can't change an adult account to a child account. In order to manage them, you would have to create new child accounts for them.

    Is the account in question a child's or adult's account? If its a child account you may want to change it to an adult account and give it a shot.

    Parental control settings

    I can't remember 100% but I am sure whoever set up the child account can change it. Like if you made an adult account on the xbox before making the child account that adult account can change wether the child account is a child account or and adult one.
    I will just test this out myself now and post how it went

    Kinderkonto zu Erwachsenenkonto Stufen -[Translation - Children's account to adult account levels]

    Hello PhilipBasgal,

    Thank you for posting on the Xbox forums. We understand that you are interested in changing a child account to an adult account. Once an account has been established as a child account, it cannot be changed to an adult account until the child turns
    18. The best way to manage the child account is to
    add it to a family
    . This requires an adult account to add the child account to the family. Once the child account has been added to the adult account's family, the child account will be able to access online features. Be sure to let us know the results!

    Cannot remove parental lock even though I'm an adult

    Only a parental (adult account) can change the privacy settings for a child account. Your parents should open an adult account and add your child account to it.
