Parent Security Lock

AbbeyField · May 20, 2016

Hi. I have an Xbox One and I set up a main account with parental restriction on it. However, when signed out of this account with any other account, these restriction no longer apply. How do I set up 'general' restriction so no matter what or how many other
accounts you put onto the Xbox, you will always need to enter a passkey to play games above a certain age limit? Thanks in advance. Any help appreciated.

:)

Parental control

The only way to remove the parental lock is by knowing the pass code, answering the security question if you forgot the pass code, or have the parent call

This is the best guide I could find regarding parental control:

1. Firstly, make sure that your child already has a Microsoft account.

2. Add user to family. Once you're ready, venture to the home screen on your Xbox One, and make sure you're signed in as yourself (not your child).

From here, click on Manage games and apps.

Select Settings.

Scroll over to Family, and select Add to Family.

Click on your child's account (or Add New if he or she isn't already registered on your device).

3. Accept Microsoft's privacy statement. On the next screen, click Next to continue, or Privacy Statement if you want more information about Microsoft's privacy policies.

4. Set parental controls. There are three types of content restrictions: Access to content and apps, Web filtering and descriptions in OneGuide.

Under Access to content and apps, you can choose Child Defaults, Teen Defaults, Adult Defaults or Custom.

Clicking Custom will offer different options, and you'll have to scroll to the right to see them all. There are too many possible protocols to list here, but you'll be able to control whether your kids can purchase content, use Skype, access social networks
or share their information with friends or random players online.

Hi there!

You can use the
Xbox 360 console control reset page if you have forgotten a code or need to clear a purchased console's parental lock!

Hi Christian,

Do you by chance still have a parental lock on the Xbox 360? What is It that you are trying to do that you can't?

You can reset the parental passcode online from your devices section after you register the Xbox 360 to your account:

That means your console has parental restrictions in place. Maybe your parents set the console up, so you can't play games that are unsuitable for children or something like that.

If your parents didn't set up a parental family lock, then an adult can reset the code on the console following

the instructions linked here.
