    i have been put into a family account that i did not make as a child, i would like to leave this family as it is blocking me from accessing certain websites like https://www.sideplus.com/ which is a legitimate site and nothing fishy. my actual parents do not know of this 'family' and have no idea why my account has been put into it. as a 21 year old who needs to download certain programs for work it is an issue that i need resolving. so if possible can i be removed from the family account as soon as

    Why not set up an admin account with documented password, add it to the family group? Then you can take your account out, and still have (or leave) an admin/family group access account available. Just a thought/suggestion...

  3. Family Organizer Leaving Family Group

    Hello Lee Wilfert,

    Glad to see you in Microsoft Community.

    • If Mother was the administrator of the Family Group, you can exit the Family Group directly, and Mother will automatically become the Family Group organizer.

      If you want to stay in the Family Group, you need to rejoin, either as an administrator or as a regular Family Group member.

      Visit Getting started with Microsoft Family Safety for more details.
    • If Mother was already a member of the Family Group, you need to remove her from the Family Group, then add it again, and need to select "Administrator" when selecting the role.
    Meanwhile, you can dissolve the Family Group, and then let the new organizer send an invitation to re-establish the Family Group. Visit Leave family group or remove members (microsoft.com) for more details.

    If anything is unclear, please do not hesitate to let me know.



    Best Regards,

    | Microsoft Community Support Specialist
