    Forgot Child's Password

    Hi Jason,

    It's possible that you'll be able to change the password through your own administrator account. Just to confirm, is your daughter's account a Microsoft account, or a local user account?

    If it's a local account, remove or change the password from the Control Panel. Sign in using your administrator account, then follow these steps:

    • Click Start.
    • Type Control Panel and press Enter.
    • Click User Accounts.
    • Click Manage another account.
    • If the User Account Control window pops up, click Yes.
    • Choose the local account that you want.
    • Click Change the password.
    • Leave the password fields empty if you want to remove the password. Otherwise, enter the new password that you want to use, as wells as a hint and click
      Change password.

    If it's a Microsoft family account, follow these steps to remove your child's account:

    • Log in using your adult account
      here
      .
    • On the right side of your child's account, click Remove.
    • Click Remove again.

    After removing the account, you can set up your child's account again. Make sure that you have the correct password when you sign in.

    Let us know if you're able to change or remove the password of your child's account after following these steps.

    Child Account Get Greyed Out

    Thanks for the suggestion, but I did the following instead.

    I have another laptop, 2 weeks old, with Windows 10 Home on it.

    On that one, I tried the same steps with the child account, and got the exact same results.

    Child Account Password

    Hello Michael,

    The method of changing the password for a child account is similar to that of the other accounts. I would suggest you to refer to this
    link to reset your child's account.

    Should you have any other concerns, don't hesitate to post back.
