    I am having a problem with the parent account that I had to set up for my xbox live account.


    Hey so I want to accept a friend request however because of something when i set up my xbox live it set me as a teen so i needed to create a parent account. So when i go to accept the friend request it wants me to enter the parent account password, but when
    i did it said it did not work try again. So i did over and over again. So then i decided to reset the password, I did that then tried the friend request again and it still told me it did not work. So then I signed in to the account of microsoft.com and this
    happened. What do i need to do? also is there a way to remove the parent account off of my xbox live account so that i don't have to keep entering the parent account password to do stuff?

    :)

    Purchased Xbox Live Gold for wrong account. How do I change the subscription to the correct account

    I recently purchased an Xbox 360 for my son. I set up a child account for my son and he set up the associated Xbox gamertag. I also set up a parent account which also seemed to come with a gamertag. I am not a gamer and haven't used the xbox myself. When
    I purchased the Xbox it came with a free one month subscription to Xbox live Gold, which we used and associated with my sons account.

    I then recently received notice that the one month free subscription was ending, inviting me to subscribe to Xbox Live Gold, which I wanted to do.

    This is where I made my mistake; because the email had come to my personal email account I assumed that I had to renew the subscription which I duly did (annual subscription) using my Microsoft parent account. Unfortunately it is not my sons account so
    he has no subscription but my account does.

    Having looked at the forum and support pages I think that I could solve the problem by moving my sons gamertag from his account to my account (if it is possible to move a child gamertag to a parent account and assuming that i first remove my gamertag from
    my account); however I don't want to do that because my account is a parent account and his is a child account, and I also don't want my email address associated with his account.

    I don't seem to be able to cancel my subscription so as to get a refund. Is my only solution to buy another subscription for my sons account?

    Won't let me re-add a parent

    So a while back my friend and I were setting up my xbox live account and he set himself as a parent so right before I bought gold for this account I asked him to remove me from his family then I activated my gold account so I could set my dad as well my
    dad him and I set up an xbox live account for him with correct info and such but when I try'd to add a parent it said Xbox Live Profile Cannot be Created after we just set up the stuff and I had just purchased a year of gold

    New Xbox Live account required parent Microsoft account and now child cannot access the new Live account.

    We have never had Live or a Microsoft account. My son has an avatar on the Xbox 360. So when I was required to go set up a Microsoft parent account to access "Live" I did that and redeemed the code assuming that is what they just instructed me to do! I am
    so confused. Now that we did what they said and set up the parent account, how does the child access it?

    Limited Account Abilities Due to Old Parental Controls

    Hello. My name is Jake and I have a problem with my Xbox One. My Xbox will not let me buy items from the marketplace because I am on a child account. When I try to change the "privacy and online safety" settings, I have to sign into my "parent's" account.
    The problem is that I never set up a parent. So I have no idea how to change the parental controls.

    Unable to accept new Terms of Service

    I am also having a similar problem. I have never had a parental account linked to my own, it was always just a parental password associated with my own account. It fills in my own email for the parent account on the xbox when i go to accept it but it wont
    accept my password.

    Problem setting up an Xbox Live (free) account for my son...

    I am sorry Mister G I appreciate you trying to help but I think you are completely missing the point of the problem. I don't want to set up a child account with a different region, I am definitely in the same region as my son - United Kingdom.

    When I try to set up a child account on My Xbox, and then link it to a parent account, if I use a *.COM email address for the parent account I get an error message saying "the region for the child account doesn't match the region for the parent - please
    check your region and try again", but if I use a *.UK email I don't get this error message and am able to proceed with linking the parent account to the child account.

    I believe the error message is erroneously saying the region is wrong, just because my region is United Kingdom and I am not using a *.UK email address. In the UK we do have *.COM email addresses too you know (hotmail.com/gmail.com).

    You have kindly checked that there is no drop down to select region from the My Xbox "join xbox live" process, it clearly says in fact "United Kingdom" on my sons registration and again on my own registration, therefore the error message about "the region
    for the child account doesn't match the region for the parent" is wrong and prevents me from registering this Xbox live account.

    Please review the details in the thread again and understand the problem being described by several people.

    Thanks.
