how do i change my forgotten access pin on Xbox X series

Hello!

Hope you are well. I'll be glad to assist you.

I'm sorry you're experiencing these issues.

If you forgot your PIN, try the following steps:

1. When prompted to enter your PIN on the console, enter any six-digit combination three times.

2. Enter your Microsoft account password when prompted.

3. Select Create a new PIN.

4. Enter a new PIN and enter it again to confirm.

I hope the information has been clear, I will be attentive to any questions you may have.

Best Regards.

Has there been any update on the ability to lock the timezone change or at least make it be based on the timezone on the app?

I just found out today that my kid has been doing this as well and it is all over the internet on how to bypass the parental controls. This is crazy how easy it is for something that is so nessicary for parents.

The "pin" solution isn't a great solution for me as well as my kid knows his email password which can then just bypass the pin. I am currently using the Xbox Series X and S.

Hi Gibby,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Xbox Community. I'm sorry to hear that you're having issues with your PIN on your new PC. Are you referring to Windows Hello PIN? If yes, you may remove it by following these steps:

Open the Windows 11 “Start” menu and click on “Settings”.

with the "Settings" menu open, click on "Accounts"

in the right side menu, click on “Sign-in options”.

click on the item “PIN (Windows Hello)” and click “Remove”.

a message will ask if you really want to remove your Windows PIN.

Regards,

Alvaro

Hi, my name is Ezequiel and thank you for your question and for reaching out. Hello Jaymes Ruck how are you?

You need to log into your account and request the code, you need to use a current pin, you cannot use an old pin.
