    Hello!


    My kid uses the family child account - logins wuth PIN. I wanted to add software to the account, but while typing in the saved password... it doesn't work!
    So tried to reset it. And...


    1. I've tried to reset my kids password via the https://account.microsoft.com/family/settings - no option

    2. I tried to recover the password via "forgot password" online - while signing in to outlook.com - asks for my 4 digits of phone number. But it does not send any verification
    3. Tried via account recovery - but got a "fail" and link back to https://account.live.com/acsr
    4. Tried via local password reset - but it's greyed out.

    C'mon, is there no way to reset my kid's password? Why does this family account function exists?

    :)

  2. Help resetting password on Child Account

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community.



    1. What is the error you have received while trying to reset password?
    2. Is the child account a Microsoft Account or a local account?

    I can understand that must make you feel upset, and I appreciate your effort that you have taken to resolve this issue.

    Assuming you have already tried resetting the password from account.live.com, I don’t wish to suggest you with the same option. I would suggest you to
    refer the article Recover your Microsoft Account
    and also refer the section Tips for filling out the recovery form to recover the issue account.



    Hope it helps.

  3. Reseting a Childs Password after Windows 10

    Hello,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    We understand that you are trying to change the password for your child account. We will assist you with this issue.

    • Is your child account configured on the same PC which you are using?
    • Is the child account a Microsoft account or a local account?

    If the child account is local account, then try these steps from an administrator user account:

    • Press Windows key+ X, select “Control panel’.
    • Click on ‘View by’ option on the top right and change it to “large icons’.
    • Click on ‘user accounts’ and then click on ‘manage another account’
    • In the list, click on the child account and then click on ‘Change password’.

    If the child’s account is a Microsoft account, then you can reset the password by following this link:

    Reset your password

    Let us know if this helps. We’d be happy to help if you need any further assistance.

    Thank you.
