    I am 20 and have no parent account, yet games like skyrim can't be installed because they're restricted.

    I have no problem on Xbox but on my pc I'm constantly shut down by restrictions preventing me from installing games

    I am 20 and have no parent account, yet games like skyrim can't be installed because they're restricted.

    Hello MiguelSwanepoel,

    Sorry to hear you are having trouble installing games on your PC. It sounds like the issue is not with your Xbox account since you mentioned it works on Xbox and if your account is an adult account, there may be permissions set on your PC.

    Have you tried launching the game as an administrator? You can right click the game and click Run as administrator.

    Updating my account to adult account

    1. The parental account has been inactive for over 6 years I believe, wasn't used up until the moment I am prompted to use it on xbox live. The password has been forgotten ect.

    2. I am aware that there is a glitch in the xbox live system that the accounts which were linked to a parental account have reverted back. The account was created with my date of birth and clearly is 20 by this year. I am hoping it is a techincal error otherwise
    I can't access my account because the password for the parental account and all information relevant to it have gone.

    How do I found out the name of my parent account?

    I have the same problem. I can't change my "child" account because I have to accept the new Terms but I can't accept them because it asks me for a parent account which I don't know. Where can I see which account is set as my "parent" account? This is so
    stupid, I am an adult and have a child account - this is ridiculous...

    Unable To Change Parental Account

    So, after a month and a half, I finally figured out why this was happening. Apparently it was because I didn't have a parent account active.

    I can't change my parent account because I can't access the My Account page.

    I can't access the My Account page because I can't change my parent account.
