There is a catch...
You must be an administrator on his computer in order to configure Parental controls, and his account may be either an admin account. Because if he has admin rights, it can remove the parental control. For the benefits of others looking for answers, please mark as answer suggestion if it solves your problem.

I need help to get rid old parental control user accounts
I had several user accounts I created then to monitor parental controls. My computer had to be indented by default settings/factory settings because there is an error not connected blue screened my PC. I have now implemented some additional, other than user accounts and only that was left on my PC (end-user), when he returned from PC World - work. These names come in the section of control panel user account, but not the 'old'. However, the family safety Web site still shows these old names and it generate reports of e-mail about the activity, which they may show no activity due to being is no longer accessible. How can I erase the please.
I had the same problem in November and has responded to my request. I don't seem to have the option, they told me so "go in manage account names" or something similar. I've been on the site, where the names are listed, but all I can do is stationary on a name and does nothing right click, left click brings this account to the screen. Very confused. Apologizes to the previous respondent. Must be something wrong.
Hi GalaxyGirl,
We are happy to help you in this regard. If I understand correctly, you simply want to remove the user account that displayed on the Family Safety website. You can easily remove the accounts it as follows:
1. connect to https://familysafety.microsoft.com using the parent account.
2. click on manage the list of the members of the family. This is located under the list of the members of the family.
3. check on behalf of the child, and then click Remove. Click delete again to confirm.
Please let us know if you need more information.
Note: I edited the title of this thread for clarity.
Thank you!

Need help to set up parental controls
Hello
I want to set up parental controls on my son's laptop computer.
Thus, users are
His name
Director of comp.
Password protected
not monitored by family safety
I thought that I could not / would not set up on the administrator, so I created a second user
His name1
standard user - control parental on
no password
monitored by family safety
I have implemented controls, but they are not in force, I guess, because they should be on his main user? If this means that it can change the settings since this is admin? I'm confused :(
Hi Dee2537,
We are happy to help you set up parental controls in your son's laptop computer. Given the information you have provided, we see that you addressed some of the scenarios where parental control will not work correctly. One of it is implemented in your child as an administrator's account. Family safety not restrict and recognize the account as a child, if the application detects that it is using an administrator account. The other implements access to his account without password because Family Safety requires that the user has a password to secure the account. Because you have pain to configure the account correctly, we strongly recommend that you follow the instructions step by step on how to set up on behalf of the child in the family security and laptop to your son.

Hello
Like a fool I rushed by parental control and install them on the children standard account without going through an administrator account. I tried everything, including the activation of the acct admin hidden through the command line, that denies access. I am running Windows 7. Help!

Help for the parental control on Vista administrator account
Computer of my son is running Vista and I set parental controls in place through the administrator account, there a nonadministrator account.
I changed the password after that we had a few problems with the controls, and now I want to change the settings again. However, the old password allows for parental control (IE, he allows his account access websites and bypass control, etc.), but when I try to access the administrator account, it says the old password does not work. When I enter the password, account says I don't have the login procedure and kicks back me to the main screen of Vista (where I take which account to enter).
So, I'm stuck administering the account due to a conflict in the parental control passwords. If I try to reset the password, the computer ask me a USB stick with the old password on it information. It is a step that I did not.
Any way to disable the administrator account? Or somehow remove/reset the parental control account access restrictions that I am experiencing?
"when I enter the parental control in the non-administrative account, the system simply ignores the password that I entered"
I suggest you read this info below on who has access to parental controls and how it works:
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial139.html
Link above has a very good tutorial on how to set up Parental controls.

Parental control &; YouTube
I turned on parental controls, and all of a sudden my Youtube app is gone, is anyway to prevent this app to disappear? I tried to allow youtube.com in the Web sites section to allow restrictions, but that did not help. Any ideas?
The app is rated 17 +, so if you want to restrict apps it be hidden – the only way to stop that is not to restrict apps (which allows to youtube.com as a website will allow it on Safari, it won't unlock the app)

I myself blocked on my computer. I didn't know that Apple was the administrator of the computer, and I was a user. I turned on the 'enable parental control' to limit the spending of my adolescence, while using my apple ID. I didn't know I was putting controls on myself. I tried everything-
(1) connected on Mac of my son tried to remote access, file sharing, etc. He is a Director on his computer, and we've even created a new user on his computer. Nothing has worked.
(2) tried questions help and support, impossible to find a way around it.
(3) I've changed my password, now I can't even shut down the computer.
I can't believe that this happened to someone, somewhere, and it's so easy to do.
Help, please! I tried everything-
Please take these steps to restore the privileges on your account. This somewhat tedious procedure is only necessary if you have verified that no work administrator account exists on the system.
If you do not already have a current backup of all your data, you must back up before taking any of the steps below. Ask if you need advice. You won't need the backup unless something goes wrong, which is always possible.
Step 1
Start in recovery mode. The OS X Utilities appears.
Step 2
This step only if you use FileVault 2. Start utility disk, then select the icon for the volume FileVault startup ("Macintosh HD", unless you have given it a different name.) It will be nested under another icon of the disc. Select open in the file menu and enter your login password when you are prompted. Then quit disk utility must be returned to the main screen.
Step 3
Select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
in the menu bar. In the window that opens, type this:
resetp
Press the tab key. The partial order you entered will automatically end this:
resetpassword
Press return. Opens a window to reset the password. Select your boot if not already done volume. Pull down the menu option
Select the user account
and select
Administrator (root)
Follow the prompts to set a password. It is safer to choose a password that includes only the characters a - z, A - Z and 0-9. I suggest that you write the password. If you don't write it down and forget about it, you will start again at step 1.
Select
▹ Reboot...
in the menu bar.
Step 4
This step, as step 2, applies only if you use FileVault. Sign up as usual, then select
▹ Disconnect...
from the menu bar or press shift-command-Q key combination. Do not restart. You go back to the login screen.
Step 5
On the login screen, click on the other... Enter 'root' (without the quotes) in the name field and the password set in step 3 in the password field. You should now be logged in as root. It is a potentially dangerous situation. Do nothing by being logged in as root except as indicated below. You'll be fine as long as you don't dismiss the plan.
Open the preferences users and groups window. Select your usual administrator account from the list of users and check the box marked
Allow the user to administer this computer
You will be prompted to restart. Do this and log in as yourself, not as root. Your administrator status should now be restored.
Step 6 (optional, but recommended)
Follow the instructions in this article to support under the title "disable the root user. You must authenticate in directory utility as a 'root' with the password set in step 3. As another administrator authentication will not work.

Network configuration and the Parental control and Powerline wireless Extender
I'm looking at one of them to help to get wifi in my addiction.
I need this on the same 'network' as my Nighthawk AC1750 router because I use it with wireless security cameras.
Two questions about wifi created from extender by current holder:
1. can I configure wifi with the same name and password powerline network is the 'same' as the network from the router?
2. the standard OpenDNS parental control on the Nighthawk router will work when connected to wifi extender Cpl?

Yes, your Nighthawk will still work as the DHCP server for the network and, therefore, point devices on the OpenDNS servers.
