How can I reset the password to my child's account?

My children are unable to log into their accounts, and their accounts are linked with with mine in Family Safety. I am able to input all required information to identify their account in the account verification form, but they have not sent emails from their account. Every time I complete an account verification form, it tells me I haven't provided enough information. How can I provide more if they have never sent an email? It is VERY frustrating that as their mother, I am not able to help them reset their password and now their account and personal information is not within my control. Microsoft needs to fix this issue, I have read dozens of posts from frustrated parents about this.

    When I set up my child's account I was able to set a 4 digit pin number for them, which is easier to remember than a password.

    For me there is no pin.

    Nothing with xbox

    Never logged in on a computer profile

    So its a clean created simple mail account on outlook.com domain eith a mistyped password.

    Ending in a useless mailaccount.

    Got the solution after calling xbox live account and it was so obvious i made me feel dumb. Attempt to log into the website with the email address associated with the child's account and then click forgot password.
