    Hi, Chris_garcia21! It's my pleasure to assist you with this today.

    Please know that we can't change a child account to an adult account. You need to wait for the system to promote the account once it detects that it's already a child account based on the date of birth that you provided or set when you first set up the account.

    If you have an issue with your child's account regarding his privacy settings, kindly sign in here using the parent account to manage the settings.

    I hope this helps! Let me know if you need any further assistance.

    Thank you!

    There is no adult account for my child account so I cant change my child account setting. I want to purchase something but cant since i cant find my adult account. When i press on family, it only comes up with my child account.

    Demote Adult account to Child

    Hi Nicole,

    The only way is to create a new account as a child account. The birthday on Xbox.com is the one that cant be changed once it is set. So the adult account will stay an adult account. If you make a child account and the games are on his adult account. Set
    the adult account as home, put a passkey on it so he cant log on it. Then the child account can use the gold and the games.

    Thanks,

    Brad

    how do I change

    First question, are you using a child or an adult account.

    I ask because if it's a child account, you can't change them without an adult account
