How to change and adult account to a child account

xXBaznjakeYTXx · May 27, 2018

So I'd like to set screen time for my son's account, however it was originally set up as the adult account. All of his game progress is saved there so I don't want to simply create a new child account for him to use. I want to change his adult account to
a child account so he won't lose any of his progress but I can still set screen time. Unfortunately, you can't set screen time for an adult account. Cannot find anything about how or if you can do this.

I am NOT asking how to change the permissions or privacy on an account.

I want to change my account from a child account to an adult account but I forgot my adult account completely. How do I change my account from child to buy games and actually use it if I forgot my adult account?

I can't remember 100% but I am sure whoever set up the child account can change it. Like if you made an adult account on the xbox before making the child account that adult account can change wether the child account is a child account or and adult one.
I will just test this out myself now and post how it went

As said there is no way to change your child's account to an adult account until the age of birth you have put has reached the age of an Adult for your specific region. There are some troubleshooting tips that if your account is past the birthday and still
a child's account there is a way to promote to an adult account.

You can change a child account to an adult account, but you can't change an adult account to a child account. In order to manage them, you would have to create new child accounts for them.

When I made the account I was a child. How do I change it to an adults account then?
