  1. Parent Account for XBOX


    I just bought an XBOX One S and am trying to download games. However it says that my account is a childs account and that I need a parent account to sign in and change that for me. Unfortunately my family did this whole this 5 years ago and no one knows what the parent account is. Is there a work around or way to find out what the account is?

    :)

    Need help with managing time limit for my son whose gamertag is use my email address

    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.

    Hey there Club! If your account a child account? Sounds like you'll need to promote your account to an adult account or adjust your parental settings so that your account is allowed to purchase on the marketplace. Here's a guide on parental controls if you

    Closing account loopholes

    Im not saying delete the parent account from the family, i mean remove the parent account from the console. It's his home xbox and his live Gold, the parent account is just on the console for accountability.
