    Childs PC and Parental PIN


    Apparently Windows has an issue that I have yet to find a solution to...My child's PC has parental controls turned on. It wants my PIN to allow updates for games etc. I cannot remember said PIN and there is no option anywhere to reset it. When I choose Forgot PIN, it tells what to do when I am signed in. You know...Settings...Sign-In options...etc.News flash...that is not possible when you cannot get into the machine. I do not think I have an account on the machine anyway, just parental PIN. It's been so long since I set it up and I can't remember.I should be able to reset or change my PIN fro

    :)

    Pin number for parental control

    4 digit pin is required to allow more screen time for my child. My child knows my 4 digit pin! How can I change my 4 digit pin number for parental controls in my child's microsoft account?

    Childs PC and Parental PIN

    I can't use certain features on Forza Horizon 3 due to parental control.

    Hi,

    If you're using a child account, there are certain limitations imposed on your Xbox account. This could be the reasons as to why you can't access certain features on the game. To resolve this issue, you need to manage the privacy and online safety settings
    of your child account by using the parent account associated to it. To give you an idea, only the parent account is eligible to manage the privacy and online safety settings of the child account. To get started, kindly perform the following steps:

    • Sign in the parent account on this link.
    • Select the Child account.
    • Make the changes that you need on the privacy and online safety settings.

    Let us know with the result after performing the suggested solution above.
