  1. Child Account Trouble


    I still have family restrictions on my account, as when I go to, for example, purchase something on the xbox store I get a pop up restricting me which says 'this is a child account' and it prompts me to change it in the settings. I thought this would change
    after I turned 18, it didn't. I would change it, however, the parent account associated is gone. I cannot access it in anyway at all, and therefore according to xbox I can't remove the child restrictions from my account. I've tried to add another parent and
    use that account to change settings, but nope. Apparently I can only be a part of one family? (Do people at microsoft not have two parents?) Anyway is there anything anyone could suggest that would help at all. It's become really annoying as I can't even do
    things like purchase games or movies or DLC on the store. Thanks.

    :)

    Child account to adult account troubles

    Hi,

    my Xbox account is a child account that I wish to promote to an adult however the one adult account in the Microsoft family that can promote me is no longer used. We no longer use the email and cannot remember the password or any security details as we made
    the account a few years ago, any way we can solve this?

    Thanks

    Child account to adult account troubles

    Hello,

    A child account can not be promoted to an adult account. The adult account in the group however can give the child account more freedom but the ONLY way a child account to be promoted is for it to age into the correct Legal age.

    If you wish to try and access that Adult account you would have to contact support and provide enough proof that account was yours. https://support.xbox.com

    Trouble with Child's Account

    Hey, Have you logged into the emails assigned to each child's account? Also, log in to your own to see if you have any messages, it could be due to a family setting or account issue,

    Check out the Xbox Family settings app on mobile I believe it is in beta but it is is really helpful for checking settings for your child's accounts.

    Trouble with Child's Account

    Hello Terpsichore3814

    I am , Independent Advisor, to work with you on this issue. Most of the time this error is given because some info is not updated in MS account. Generally, this is Date of Birth. Can you login to your MS account and check this for all?

    Trouble with Child's Account

    I checked the time and time limits. They were inside both of them.

    There is no number listed on the error screen.

    Trouble with Child's Account

    Hi there

    It could be due to the family settings please check the family settings account to see if there is limits and times on the console that could be the reason it is happening. Here is a link that might help you. https://beta.support.xbox.com/help/...e-safety/manage-app-privacy-settings-xbox-one

    Also can you state the error number that appears on that error shown above please?, it might help get to the bottom of it.
