    How do I access the parent account if I do not know who the parent account is?


    Everytime I try to download something it tells me I need permission. but I'm the only one in my family so I shouldn't need to give permission to myself. I have two email addresses with Microsoft, neither which seem to be the parent account. Yet the parent account is under my name. I just want to be able to download what I want to download without needing permission from essentially...myself.
