  1. Xbox live child to adult account transition


    Hello,

    I made my xbox live account 5 years ago, and back then my parents created an account to manage the restrictions. I have recently turned 18 and would like to convert my account to an adult account, but when I try to do it myself it tells me to sign in as
    an adult. My parents have forgotten the adult account details completely and I have since got a new console, meaning I have no way of retreiving these details. Now I am stuck with a child account, unable to make purchases or speak in game chat, and to be honest
    it is quite frustrating. Any way to fix this?

    :)

    Need Help Changing to an Adult Account

    Hey there BrandoPigmaster.

    If you set your birthdate to the correct date upon creation of your Xbox Live account, it should automatically transition into an adult account as you mentioned. Where are you seeing that your Xbox Live account is still showing as a child account?

    How to modify date of birth in child’s account

    You can't change a child account into an adult account once registered for xbox live. You can modify the DOB under your MS account's page yet that will not upgrade a child account into an adult account for the live service.

    Problems with age.

    I found this, hope it helps.

    Promote a child account to an adult account in Xbox

    Xbox LIVE determines whether an account is a child account or an adult account based on the age of the account owner. Account owners who are younger than 18 are given child accounts in the United States. The legal adult age varies by country and region (for
    example, the adult age in Korea is 20).

    Child accounts are tied to an adult's Microsoft account. The adult account can control Family Settings and restrict some features of Xbox LIVE.

    After you reach the age of adulthood (which varies by country and region), you can promote a child account to an adult account. This promotion removes the Family Settings and Xbox LIVE restrictions.

    To promote a child account to an adult account

    Sign in to Xbox LIVE by using the account that you want to change.

    Go to Settings, and then select Account.

    Select Promote Child Account.

    Note The age of an account owner is calculated by using the date of birth provided when the account was created. This date cannot be changed. If you entered an incorrect date of birth when you created the account, your only option is to create a new account
    using the correct date of birth. This option is available only if the date of birth for the account indicates that you have reached the age of adulthood (18 in the United States). The legal adult age varies by country and region.

    Follow the on-screen instructions to promote the account.
