If the account is stuck in Microsoft Family Safety and the parent account no longer works, the supported steps are:
- Use the sign-in helper first to check whether the Microsoft account issue can be identified: Sign-in helper
- If the problem is that the parent account is outdated or cannot sign in, use the Microsoft account sign-in recovery flow: Start
- If the account is still treated like a child account on the PC even after family settings were changed online, create a new local administrator account on the computer and move personal files to that new profile. The accepted guidance for this scenario is:
- Go to Settings > Accounts > Family & other users.
- Select Add someone else to this PC.
- Choose I don’t have this person’s sign-in information.
- Choose Add a user without a Microsoft account.
- Create the account, then change it to Administrator.
- Sign in to the new account and copy personal files from the old profile.
- Do not copy the hidden AppData folder, because that can carry over the broken restrictions.
- For technical support, use Contact Microsoft Support. Support can route to the best option, but support agents are not allowed to send password reset links or change account details.
