disconnect a child and adult account?

Hello Sabrina Leak,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.



Based on your description, your account was accidentally turned into a child account, and it was connected to another account. Let us check on this together and sort this out in timely manner.

If you were referring to the account being child by accident, may we confirm if this account is newly created?

Can we confirm what do you mean by no one has access to the account it's connected to? Are you referring to the Microsoft Family you are part with?

For the child account, this should be included on a Microsoft Family where you are required to seek assistance to an organizer. To determine the account organizer, you may visit your account page for family through this link: Microsoft Family Safety.

We look forward to your response. Kindly let us know, if there is any misunderstanding or clarifications of our description by sending us a reply.



Sincerely,

Hi there,

-

since the family account doesn't exist anymore the likely cause for this is that your account is still specified as parental account on those other accounts. If those other accounts have reached the legal age of adult you should be able to promote these
accounts to adults (Disconnecting your parental account from these accounts).

You or the owners of the 'child' account need to do this on their account. (So your brother needs to do this his account)

See this link (the one you already know) for the steps to update a child account to an adult account:

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.

Adult accounts cannot be made child accounts. Only child accounts can be converted to adult accounts. Not the other way around.
