Having reset child account to be parent account, the games & passes are now associated with...

Thanks for the information. I'm running into a hurdle with removing the parent account because the Game pass is associated with that account. I have generated a new organizer account within the Family but currently will not let me modify billing or payment. Is it possible to transfer the Game Pass account to the new Parent account? Then I would be able to remove all payment and billing from previous parent account (future child account).

Thanks,

If you set the console as your Home console, it will allow you to share the gold and games without having to leave the adult account signed in. https://support.xbox.com/games/game-setup/my-home-xbox

If the account is left signed in, then yes, they could potentially change the settings.

you can also set your account to Lock Down so it requires your password or you can set it to require Passkey before any settings can be changed and before purchases can be made.

That usually means they have an account where the birthday marks it as a child. Every child account has to have a parent account attached to it. It is having troubles adding it to the Family Pack because the parent account slot is already taken.

If this is the case, you have to disassociate the child/parent account setup. This does require you have the parent account downloaded to a console. If you do not know what account is the pre-existing parental account, sign into the problematic profile on
the console, navigate to Settings > Privacy > Change Settings. It doesn't matter what you change, just change something and try to save the change. It should pop up the parental account's email because it needs parental permission to make the change.

That process gives you the email. If you do not have the password, that will have to be reset at

If you do have the password, download the parent account to the console, navigate to Settings and this time select Family. The child account should show up on a second panel (much like your existing Family Pack members); selecting the child should give you
the option to Remove from Family.

Once the child has been removed from the family, you will be able to add it to the Family Pack.

Please Note: once this has been done, the child's profile will not be usable until a parent account has been associated with it.

If the child's account is more than 3-4 years old, you may have problems with the pre-existing parent account. Gamertags were only automatically assigned to parent accounts when the Family Packs were released in 2010. If it was associated before then, this
process will create a Gamertag for the parent account that will not show the child as part of the family. There is not a way around this as far as I am aware.
