solution here to recover the password.

Hope this helps

Hi there,

Follow the steps to Remove a family member
. Just enter your password or passkey to validate the changes, and keep in mind that

• Any adult in the family can remove another family member. Children and teens are prohibited from making this change.
• When a child is removed from the family, they won’t be able to use the Xbox service until they have been added to another family.
• Adults removed from the family no longer can manage the child accounts in the family. However, they'll have full rights to their account and will be able to use home console sharing when signed in to the home console.

Happy gaming!

Hello goboilers777,

Thank you for keeping us updated. The passkey is only for the Xbox. If the child knows the email address and password, the child will be able to change the family settings from a cell phone or computer. The best way to manage the security of the family settings
is to set up the passkey on the console as recommended above and
change the password of the adult account. If the child has access to the
security information of the account, the child will be able to reset the password. In the event of attempting to change the password, the Microsoft account will send a verification code to the security information of the account. As long as the child does
not have access to the security information, access to the password or access to the passkey; the child will not be able to change the family settings.

Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft support.

I understand that you want to share previous purchases made on your Microsoft primary account with your child's account. I'll be happy to assist you with this.



To share previous purchases with your child's account, you need to set up family sharing on your Microsoft account. Here are the steps to set up family sharing:



1. Sign in to your Microsoft account on the Microsoft website.

2. Click on the "Family" tab.

3. Click on "Add a family member" and enter your child's email address.

4. Follow the prompts to set up your child's account.

5. Once your child's account is set up, go to the "Content restrictions" section and select "On" for "See content others have shared".

6. Go to the "Purchase sharing" section and select "On" for "Share my content".

7. Select the content you want to share with your child's account.



Once you have completed these steps, your child's account will be able to access the content you have shared with them.



Please note that not all content is eligible for sharing. Some content may have restrictions based on age or region. Additionally, some content may not be eligible for sharing due to licensing agreements.



I hope this information helps. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to ask.

Truly Yours,

Fatima
