1. Reset the password using one of the Microsoft games: if your child doesn’t already play a game with his Microsoft account, download a game on your device and choose the forgot password option. Enter his email address for the security code to be sent to, and from there you’ll be able to change his password.
2. Create a new account: if none of the above options worked, you can try deleting the whole family account or just the child account and create a new account.
