I have a childs account but I don't have a parents account?

There are several threads about the complications of parental and child accounts. I don't have a technical solution, but, a more practical solution.

If your xbox is new, I am assuming you don't have too many purchases and games on your account yet. The best thing to do is to get a brand-new set of parent account (from an actual parent at your home, because, I am sure, if there are account problems, they may have to prove they are an adult) and child account (for your self, linked to the parent account).

If you only recently bought the xbox, you can probably claim refund on the purchases as well. and simpy buy them again on the new parent child account combo.

I don't think you can simply bypass the parent child restrictions no matter what settings you try and contact support and what not.

Hi. My name is Brilliant, an independent advisor. I am happy to assist you today.

Parent and child accounts on Xbox are designed to help parents manage their children’s gaming activities. A parent account is the primary account that can create and manage child accounts. Child accounts are created for children under the age of 18 and are linked to the parent account. The parent account can set up parental controls, such as screen time limits, content restrictions, and spending limits, for each child account.

You cannot change your account to be a child account. You will have to create a new account for your child.

To create a child account, the parent account must first create a family group. The family group can have up to six members, including the parent account. Once the family group is created, the parent account can add a child account to the group. The child account will be linked to the parent account and will have access to the parent account’s Xbox Live Gold subscription and other benefits.

I hope this helps.

Your son is on a child account. Its not a problem. It needs a parent to approve your son having an account by logging in to the parent account linked to your sons child account. If you don't know the parent account linked to the child account you can try
contact support directly at 1-800-4MY-XBOX and they may be able to find the parent account for you.

I don't think the parental account can be both the child and parental 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...
