    Reset parental control when the parent's account cannot be accessed


    Hello, I can't install apps I need from Microsoft Store because of parental control. I asked my parents to allow them, and they agreed to do it. I'm 17 years old BTW.


    However, my father's account was created ages ago, and he can't remember not only the password, but also the account's email. Even worse, it turned out that the email he used is now not being serviced anymore, so there's no way to recover his account's password.


    Is there any way to get rid of this situation? Thanks in advance.

    :)

    Parental Controls without a Microsoft Account


    Hi,

    I've just re-installed Windows 10 on a family laptop. I want to create accounts for my two children (aged 13 & 11) that have a degree of protection, mainly in terms of sites and content types that they can access.

    However I don't like the fact that to create a child account and use the child safety features Microsoft forces me to create a Microsoft account / hotmail address for them. Are my options:

    1. Live with it
    2. Use other parental control software, e.g. Custodio
    3. Tie individual browsers down with parental controls.

    Thanks,
