  1. Issues with family account set up


    When creating the account for my child, I accidentally used the same email and password for both parent and child account, and now it has me locked in as child user, and I cannot change permissions or add anyone else to the family. How would I be able to re access as parent or change parent email address so I can still utilize the family feature?

    :)

    Hi. My name is Brilliant and I am happy to assist you today.

    You can try to verify the birth date on your account: Sign in to your Microsoft account. Select Your info > Edit profile info.

    About your friends, right now I'm starting to see reports of gamers for their friends list - missing friends or similar problems with friends and groups

    In my case, I'm experiencing missing friends. Right now I only have "7 friends" but I remember to have more.
    Probably this is a current or temporary outage.

    HELP!!

    What other games are you able to play? I think the issue the the safety settings from the family pack. With that membership the secondary accounts are child accounts and MW3 might be rated to high for a child account. You can also check the family settings
    on the settings page of the dasboard when signed into the main account for the family pack and see what ratings are set up.

    Hello KungBoris,

    Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. These are great questions! The Xbox Family is the best method to manage child accounts. An adult account will be the one to regulate the entire family settings. Family settings allow Xbox users to manage
    purchase authorization, content access and even screen time. The
    Xbox Family Support website
    has several different articles for all types of issues or questions with the family settings. We can suggest a few of them to get started. We recommend using your Microsoft account in order to set up the family. If you do not
    have a Microsoft account, it is possible to
    create one on our website
    . Once the account is ready to go, we recommend using the article entitled

    Add a New Member to Your Family in order to set up the family. The
    Online Safety and Privacy Settings
    is where a parent can manage the family settings. Adding a child's account to a family will not affect subscriptions or saved data. Be sure to let us know the results!
