Windows 10: Accidentally logged in with an child account on my administrator user, can't bypass screen time

I was trying to install an app from the microsoft store, but i had to log in, so i logged in with an account that i had in mind, after loggng in, my computer got blocked, and i only have this user, now i cant access other users and the parental account on microsoft.com

Child account

I did set up a Child account, I did fallow all the steps window ask, the account say that the child is in the family, when I tried to log, give me the message "The Profile Service service Failed The Sign-in. User Profile cannot be loaded".

Answering your questions:

• Did you make any changes to the child account prior to the issue? No, I did not make any changes.
• Since when you are facing this issue? Right from the start. I never got to login.
• Are you able to login with other child accounts on the computer? No

I suggest you to restart the computer once and check if you are able to login to the computer. I did, the same problem, I do not have any problem with my account or my wife.

Thank you for your help.

David.

 

Bypass Family Settings by conversion to Local Account


Thanks Kari.

I copied their User folders so I could restore them later.
I deleted their accounts on the computer.
I removed them from my Microsoft Account "Family" online, to "start from scratch".
I went to "Settings" on my PC and added them as a child account.
I logged into their email and accepted the Family request.
I then logged into their new child account. Before restoring their User folders.

Guess what? They can still log in with a local account.

This "local account" option that lets them bypass child controls so easily seems to be sticky. As if it is stored with the Microsoft Account. That I needed to create in Windows10. To enable child settings control.

I guess nobody at Microsoft thought of the use-case of somebody upgrading from Windows7 to Windows10 with EXISTING child accounts.

What would you suggest now? Create NEW, DIFFERENT Microsoft accounts using other garbage emails?

 

Settings can't be opened using the built-in administrator account


Hello,
Unfortunately I have the same issue as Dabz from upgrading win7 to win10.
I've tried opening settings using all the suggested methods and it will not load using my account with Administrator access nor the built-in Administrator profile. I also tried other methods not listed such as using Run. Control panel is just a stepping stone to add users in Settings.
I'm also having explorer.exe issues, which I believe is preventing Settings from loading.
Using cmd (Admin) I successfully created a new user profile [and granted admin access also using cmd (Admin)], however win10 will not allow this account to log on. win10 does not list this new user within control panel but it does in the start menu. win10 will not allow to log in or switch to the new account via the start menu either.
I can access settings in Safe Mode but this will not allow me to create a new account.
Any help/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
