Pass code necessary for setting time limits?

Okay so I had to set a time limit on the xbox. I just wanted the xbox to be used no later than 10pm daily.

now I find out I can't specify the time I wanted it to be limited, but rather hourly example the amount of hours it can

Be used per day (example 4 hrs a day).

when my son tried to use the xbox it asked him for a pass code.

Is is there a way to set a limit without it asking for a passcode? This is an epic fail if not.

How to control access to your Xbox LIVE account

It is possible to restrict access to your Xbox LIVE account by using a pass code, or making it necessary to sign into your Xbox profile using your Microsoft account password.

Set a pass code

A pass code is a button sequence on your controller, which you can use to restrict access to your Xbox LIVE profile. After you have set the pass code, anyone who wants to sign into Xbox LIVE using your profile must enter the pass code.

Steps to follow

1) Under Settings, select Account

2) Go to Account Security, and then select Pass Code

3) Enter your four-button code on your controller. You can use the directional pads, the triggers, the bumpers, X and Y.

4) Re-enter your pass code for confirmation

The next time you sign in with your Xbox LIVE gamertag, you will be required to enter the pass code.

If you want to change or reset your pass code, just repeat the above steps. You will be required to enter the old pass code before you can change it.

 

Passcode?

To set an Xbox LIVE pass code:

From any area of the Xbox Dashboard, select your gamer profile.

From the Gamer Profile screen, select Account Management, Xbox LIVE Pass Code.

Enter a four-button code using the X and Y buttons, triggers, bumpers, and directional pad on your Xbox 360 controller.

Confirm your code by entering it again. If you type it differently the second time, repeat from step 3.

To reset your pass code, repeat this procedure at any time. (You will have to enter your original Xbox LIVE pass code before you can create a new one.)

Set a Family Settings Pass Code

A Family Settings pass code keeps anyone who uses your Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system—your kids, for instance—from altering your Family Settings.

Use your Family Settings pass code to override game and movie settings if you (or those with whom you share your pass code) want to play games or watch DVD movies that your console settings would normally block.

To set a pass code for your Xbox 360 console:

Start from the System area of the Xbox Dashboard or—if you're using the Xbox 360 system for the first time—from the Initial Setup Complete screen. Select Family Settings, Console Controls.

Select Set Pass Code.

Select Pass Code, then enter a four-button code using the X and Y buttons, triggers, bumpers, and directional pad on your Xbox 360 controller.

Confirm your code by entering it again. If you type it differently the second time, repeat from step 3.

Choose a pass-code reset question. The default question is "favorite fictional character."

To accept this question, skip to the next step.

To choose a different question (or to choose this question after you've used another), select Pass Code Reset Question and choose from the options given.

Select Pass Code Reset Answer and enter your answer using the on-screen virtual keyboard and either your Xbox 360 controller or a standard USB computer keyboard plugged into a controller port on your console.

Tip

Pick a question for which your answer will be obvious and unlikely to change in the forseeable future. Also, be sure to type your answer in a way that will be easy to retype later if you forget your pass code.

Select Done from the Set Pass Code screen, then select Done once more from the Console Controls screen. When prompted, select Yes, save changes to put your new settings into effect.

To reset your pass code, repeat this procedure at any time.

Reset a Forgotten Pass Code

To reset your Family Settings pass code after you've forgotten it:

From the System area of the Xbox Dashboard, select Family Settings, Console Controls.

Enter an incorrect pass code.

You will be told that your pass code is incorrect. Select Reset pass code.

You will then be shown your pass-code question and asked to answer it.

Type your answer using the on-screen virtual keyboard and either your Xbox 360 controller or a standard USB computer keyboard plugged into a controller port on your console. Your answer is case-sensitive and must be typed exactly as you entered it originally.
This will clear your original pass code and allow you to enter another.

Repeat the Set a Family Settings Pass Code procedure, beginning with step 2.
