Wrong date of birth entered on set up.

Hi Martyn,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

To have a better clarity on the issue and guide you accordingly, kindly help us with following information.

• When you say ‘Age/date of birth question on setup’, are you talking about the age/date of birth information requested while setting up a Microsoft account?
  

If you’re talking about the date of birth associated with your Microsoft account, you may try the steps listed in the article
How to change a birthdate on a Microsoft account, to change the same.

Let us know how it goes.

How to change birth date of the child account?

I am unable to change the date of birth of my child's account, which was entered incorrectly.

The date of birth currently set is 2011 (which is should be 2002).

I have followed the instructions on this page:

How to change a birth date on a Microsoft account

As the account is set to 12 years old, the child is under the statutory age for my country.

The steps above say to perform the following actions for a child under the age of consent:

1. Using the adult Microsoft account, sign in to your account on family.microsoft.com.
   
2. Choose the family member, select then Manage consent.
   
3. In the Manage permissions page of the child’s account you want to change, at the right, select Edit this child's personal info and then follow the instructions.
   

In step 3, the Manage permissions page does not show "Edit this child's personal info". instead, it simply shows the below screen.
