Child user on Xbone with no parental account to change settings....

BillionBug98082 · Dec 29, 2014

I just bought the Xbone and have had a "child account" due to a accident when initially creating my account 7 years ago... I had that issue resolved on the xbox360, but now I am experiencing the same issues on my new one.

My main issue is the "Family settings" It says, "Sign Alec in to view Alec's settings"....... I switch over to my 360 and I can change every setting at will, but not on the One...

Any solutions you can think of?

Or should I just wait and call support in the morning?

EDIT: I had to make another account to even post this issue... Main account is: AlecArticuno (with 140,000 plus GS)

Thank you

:)

Cant change my windows 10 Xbox privacy settings

Only your parental account can change privacy settings on a child account

password lock a child account

thats privacy settings LOL

they can login all they want and play online

PARENTAL settings cannot be changed by the child user unless you give them the password

this requires the parental password

child accounts cannot change to adults magically

you can change privacy and family settings with the parental password which i hope you do not give to your children

you have have it so they cannot post any info on the bio

again please look at the family account and the family settings link i posted previously

I too have the same issue. I can't download the Halo 5 Beta because of it.

So your problem is basically your account is set to a child account but you want to change it? There's no way around it besides creating an entirely new account, or wait until the 17th birthday comes when you will have your account automatically switched
to an adult one. It keeps it from children altering their age to access mature rated material.

good evening

If your child's Xbox Series S account is set up as a child account, there are a few steps you can take to allow your child to stream on the console when they are old enough.

Make sure that your child's account is linked to a parent account. If it is not already linked, you can link the child account to a parent account by going to "Settings" > "Account" > "Family" on the console, and then following the prompts to link the accounts.

Once the child account is linked to a parent account, the parent can change the privacy and online safety settings for the child account by going to "Settings" > "Account" > "Family" > "Manage family members" > [child's name] > "Privacy & online safety".

Under the "Privacy & online safety" settings, the parent can change the settings for "Online safety" and "Broadcasting". For example, the parent can allow the child to participate in multiplayer gaming and share content online, or allow the child to stream content.

If the parent account is not able to change the settings for the child account, it may be because the child account is set up as a "Younger child" account. In this case, the parent will need to request that the child's account be converted to a "Child" account. This can be done by going to "Settings" > "Account" > "Family" > "Manage family members" > [child's name] > "Change to a child account".

I hope this information helps you allow your child to stream on the Xbox Series S.

Are you changing the settings on the console itself, or are you using
https://account.xbox.com/settings on the web?

Are you trying to change the settings directly with the child account, or did you add the child account to your parent account at
https://account.microsoft.com/family and then signed in with the parent account on https://account.xbox.com/settings and
tried to change the settings of the child account with your parent account?
