Resetting the family passcode

I do apologise if this topic has been brought up before, but I find myself in a rather urgent situation.

I need to know how the family passcode for the Xbox one can be reset? Does it have to go through internet support, or can it be done within the console itself, as in a reset to factory settings?

I'm asking because I bought 'the other' - let's say, console for this generation and the family restrictions there could be bypassed within three or so minutes. I have since sold it and am considering purchasing an Xbox one. But this sort of thing is a deal
breaker, and I'd be very glad if someone explained it to me.

:)

Hello, CrazyZombie1901

Please visit this site here. Once you're there Chat with Microsoft Support. They can assist you with resetting the family settings passcode you
have on your console.

 

Well let me see if I can answer your question.

First, there is no passcode for the xbox one like you think of. The management of a "family" is done by an adult (parent) account which has all privileges needed to add and control the other f.e. child accounts of the same family. This includes age restrictions
and the ability for purchases. So the passcode in that sense are the login credentials of the adult account.

All family settings can be done with this adult account wether on the xbox itself or on the internet on xbox.com

How does this work: well you need to set up a microsoft account for each of the designated family members and assigns them with a gamertag. Then the adult account can add them to a family and set up the wanted restrictions. All family members associated
with the family can use the digital purchases and even the goldsubscription of the adult (parent) account. But the purchases must be done ith the parent account.

Does this answer it? If not feel free to ask further details.

 

Thanks, this sounds promising. I'll look into it further.
