Windows 10: Childs account has an unrecognized email address

I recently setup my child on a new windows PC.I used their Microsoft email address to log into the computer. This was the same Microsoft account and email address that the child had been using on the older PC for some time.I noticed in the Family Safety app that the child's account was accidently setup as an admin account. This was likely because it was the first account I setup on the new PC.I've just gone into the PC and tried to reset the child's account type to Standard user, but I noticed that the email address associated with the child's account is now different. It appears to be a rando

Unauthorized Emails from my account?

It is more than likely that your email account was hacked, either by a virus sniffing your password, or just simply hacked.

Either way, change your password on your email account. Unfortunately the damage by already be done. They already have your contact list and your email address associated with that contact list. There is nothing stopping them from sending out emails using their own SMTP servers to everyone on your contact list and claiming the emails are from your email address. They don't actually have to have access to your yahoo account or even any yahoo server to send emails to people that come from your address.

Change Email Address on Child Account

I set up a child account for my daughter a year ago. The problem is that her email address has changed. I cannot figure out how to change her email address to her new address. The old address is no longer valid.

Thanks in advance for the assistance.
