Removing child

Hi. I was lazy when I signed into the family safety and didn't add my correct date of birth. It has caused me issues since. I tried to change it but is locked. I don't want the family safety as I am an adult and don't need it. I can verify myself with ID.

Thank you

    To remove yourself from the family safety features in Microsoft, you typically need to leave the family group. However, if your date of birth is incorrect and it's causing issues, you may need to contact Microsoft support for assistance in verifying your identity and correcting your date of birth. Unfortunately, there isn't a straightforward way to change your date of birth directly in the family safety settings if it's locked. Verifying your identity with ID may help in this process.

    For more detailed steps, I recommend checking the Microsoft support documentation or contacting their support team directly for assistance with your specific situation.

    Hi Lisa,

    I agree that you are in a catch-22 situation. The only option is this:

    Create a new Microsoft account so you have a fresh “adult” account that can act as a Family Organizer.

    Sign in with this new account and go to family.microsoft.com.

    Create a Family group (or join one) using the new account.

    Add your current Microsoft account to this Family group and accept the invitation when prompted.

    Once your current account is part of the family, you’ll be able to change its Date of Birth because the new account acts as the organizer.

    After updating the DOB, you can remove the accounts from the Family group if you no longer need it

    I hope you find this information useful. If you have any more questions, don't hesitate to reach out. Otherwise, please take a moment to accept the answer. Wishing you good luck!
