    I need help with changing a child account


    So I have an Adult account and a child account because when I made the account I was younger. I'm tired of having to switch from one account to another to change my settings. Its also causing glitches with buying dlc on Backwards compatibility titles. I
    realize I could just start playing on the adult account, or make a new one, but I don't want to lose my achievement progress, or my game progress. Is there any way to make the child account unrestricted and family free so that I can just play my games without
    worrying about switching profiles?

    :)

    I need help changing a child account to an adult account

    So about two years ago I sold my friend my Xbox One, and helped him make an account with me being the "parent" and him being the "child". Well now he is experiencing issues with playing certain games, being told that he is "restricted" from playing them,
    however I have put no restrictions on his account. Now we are trying to change his account status from child to adult, and we are having no luck (and his birthdate says that he should be an adult); and I don't want to remove him from my family because we tried
    that once and it deleted his account. If anyone could explain to me on how to do this, I would really appreciate it.

    You would have to promote the account to an adult account. To do so, the age on the account needs to be 18.

    Child Account settings not updating

    Hi

    When making changes to a child's account settings, the child then needs to log off the console and back on for the changes to take effect.

    See if that help.

    Hello!

    If you are using your Xbox with a child account, you need a parent to log in to the Xbox and change the settings for the child account.
