Okay, so I barely found out how to access the forums and change my bio but now I want to stop being asked for another accounts password, the account that got banned, how do I make myself an adult??

If I am the only member of my family, does that make me an adult?

If not, how do I make myself an adult?

The system seems to take me as a child, since I can't change my Xbox settings.

How to make an adult account into a child.

You would have to create a new child account and to be able to set the parental controls. Changing the birthdate on the MS account does not transfer over to the Xbox account. Unfortunately no progress or Gamerscore would be able to transfer to the new account
should you create it.

Once a person turns 18, he or she can follow the steps here to promote their account.

On your Xbox 360 console, sign in to Xbox Live using the account that you want to change.

Go to Settings and select Account.

In the Your Information panel, select Promote Child Account.

If you’re prompted to sign out of a current game session, select Yes.

On the “Promote your current Xbox Live child account to an adult account” screen, select Continue.

Keep in mind you have to wait till you turn 18 and no changing the age nor the email will force it to come early

I can't remember 100% but I am sure whoever set up the child account can change it. Like if you made an adult account on the xbox before making the child account that adult account can change wether the child account is a child account or and adult one.
I will just test this out myself now and post how it went

Thank you for explaining this. So in order for my younger son to have me as a family leader and set his screen time etc would I need to make myself a new Microsoft account and then make him his own one too so I appear as the adult and he as the child? And then would I register the new Xbox in my account name or his?

I wish they would put adult details required and child details required to make this clearer 🤦‍♀️

Thank you so much for your help
