Hi there! This is Virginia O.

I understand that you are experiencing issues resetting the parental passcode on the Xbox 360.

I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

To reset the passcode, please be guided with the following steps:

Sign in your Microsoft account here: https://account.microsoft.com and go to the Devices tab.

If the Xbox 360 isn't registered yet, kindly register it first.

Once done, locate your registered Xbox 360 console and select Show Details.

Select Manage, select Reset passcode, and then follow the instructions to reset your pass code.

For your reference with the passcode reset, please visit this link: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/xbox-360/se...

Thank you for your cooperation.

Hey there Pain! I've tried reproducing this on my console with a parent/child account, but when I try accessing the Family settings on the Child account, it asks for the Passcode before ever showing me the Family Timer. Can you let us know how your son is
bypassing this setting? Did you set up a Passcode? If not, please give that a try and see if it prevents your son from accessing it. Let us know, thanks!

I brought the console in a lot with others in AS IS condition untested, also it was from a charity shop aka Op Shop if in australia or Thrift shop if in america

Prince: This is incorrect. Recovering an account will only reset an Xbox LIVE passcode, not the parental passcode.

Dodge: The only way you can remove a parental passcode is to A) know the passcode, or B) know the answer to the security question.

Wait a second

Arr you sure its not a profile passcode?

Parental srttings wont block access to an accounr only changing settings.

Parental accounts dont have psrental passcodes. Because they are adult profiles already

However profile passcodes are completely different

They dont get reset with family passcodes

If its a profile passcode only recovering your account can fix this first delete the profile and redownload the profile

or complete xbox hdd reset

This is IMPORTANT check at accounts.microsoft.com to see if you know the password if its fine then recover your account

Passcodes are meant to block anyone who isnt supposrd to access your profile from accessing it

Parental settings passcode is to prevent purchases or account changes without parental permission

Or you could do the adult thing and ask for the profile passcode
