• Cancel the Parental control, because I'm the Parent: but not Administrator of my computer

  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-

• Place the Parental control over the Admin account

  I use a Macbook Pro with El Capitan 11.1 2012

  Today, I put Parental controls on my admin account, which resulted in the managed account. I can now use my normal administrator username / combo of password to remove it. I tried everything I found on the Internet, including into single user mode and create a new account to change to leave, but the code didn't work in my case.

  I was wondering if there is any easy solution or new thoughts there for this OS...

  Also why it not easier? Or at least a warning? Looks like Apple could have come up with something after that it was produced for the years.

• The use of parental controls to block Youtube will also block Youtube links on other sites from loading?

  I'm trying to stop a child direct access to Youtube. My concern is that it must be able to watch Youtube links for the school.   The school has content on one of their pages. I understand adding youtube.com to blocked list prevents the child to have access to this page directly... but it blocks all the content as well, or the child will be able to watch a video, if gave it a link?

  Ribeiro,

  If you block YouTube using the parental control, none of the links will be accessible by your child. Because he's going to block it as a whole.

  You can allow YouTube to a certain period of time by using parental control settings.

• A new version of the parental control is available. We recommend that you update the PC of each Member of the family.

  When I connect to the Windows Live Family Safety website, it shows the opinion (in the title above) recommended that I upgrade to a newer version.  Next to this notice there is a link that says... 'install and set up parental controls'.  When I click on it to try to upgrade to a new version, need me a Windows Essentials page where it says nothing about an update.

  An attempt to update, I clicked on the symbol "Refresh" in the upper right corner of the programs parental control on each of the monitored computers, and all say they are refreshed and updated.  What is going on?  Why he continues to say that they all need new versions?

  PS. I am running Windows XP and control parental version 14.0.8118.0427.

  Hi Placebo12,

  We are happy to assist you with your concern. I understand that you wonder why the message shows up on the Family Safety website.

  The notice comes when it detects an older version of the parental controls installed on your computer. The latest version should be 15.4.3555.0308 for the 2011 version and 16.4.3505.0912 for the 2012 version. Since you're using the 14.0.8118.0427 build that is the 2009 version of the parental control, the site detects it as obsolete. Please note that the only Essentials 2009 version can be installed on Windows XP.

  If in the cases, it affects services and parental control functions, please let us know if we can help you.

  Thank you!

• Cancel the Option of Parental control password

  Using the option of parental control and adding the password, I discovered a password must now connect to my computer, it is not the desired result.
  I want to cancel the password and be able to connect without one. NOTE: I have disabled the feature of games on my computer, and ALSO DO NOT need a password for the games.  FROM PARENTAL CONTROLS NOT NECESSARY. INSTRUCTIONS TO DEFEAT REQUIRED.
  Your help would be most appreciated! Thank you.

  I'm sorry, but you're probably not going to find someone who will help you bypass the passwords in this forum.  There is no way to verify that you are not the very children who are intentionally blocked the computer and if we were to help you bypass the built in security feature we would have defeated its purpose.

• need to know how to block the ophcrack from running, my child uses this to get my password and in the parental controls in vista

  you want to know how to block the ophcrack from running, my child uses this to get my password and in the parental controls in vista. I have 3 accounts going 2 for children and one for the parents/administrator. I found ophcrack in several places on the computer. any help would be greatly appreciated

  The only question the idea of Malkeleah, that is when you put a password on BIOS, all you need to do is pop the battery from the motherboard and the password is gone. Faronics has in some programs such as anti-executable and a few other programs that may block the name or ID of a process and prevent it from running (some antiviruses have that option, such as Avast, but usually is a pain in the ass to configure)

• Parental control for Linksys EA6500 V2

  I learned recently that the parental control I set up for my children do not work.  I disabled parental controls and allowed them.  I checked to make sure I have the latest firmware for the router said, I completely reset the router and back.  However, the parental control does not work.  I tried on my devices to block the internet and I am still able to access the internet.  Please can someone help or should I just go with another router?  It's very upsetting.

  Current version of the firmware: 1.1.40.166281

  Shawn

  @gotur6

  Please Flash the firmware of the router, you can download it from here. Reset the default router and configure manually, do not save the settings. Configure the control parental again. Cycle power to the router. Let us know how it goes.

• Parental control on the Admin account problems

  A few months ago, I created a new account on my computer for work only.  I set the parental controls on the new account and only the work account.  I got by without my computer for work then off the parental control.  Now, I'm unable to download games without him asking for a password.  I don't know what password I had used since I don't end up need it and none I've tried have worked.  So, how can I, as an administrator, disable this feature?  I have consulted the parental control and done everything I have seen/read that was recommended, but it won't allow me to change the settings on my own admin account without establishing a second admin account.  So, how can I remove this feature from the admin, only the admin?  It does not accept any next to the admin account, and even then it won't take my password.

  I work at it for a few weeks now and tried everything I can think of.  Today I spent most of the day trying to get this thing to work.

  More details on what is happening-
  -I'm going to download a game on the net while connected to my admin account
  -Everything works until the final stage when he usually asks for a general permission to my antivirus
  -A pop up appears which reads: you do not have the necessary permissions to use all the features of the program you are about to run.  You can run this program as a different user or continue to run the program as long as the current user.
  -Click on the current user and it closes, download fault.
  -Enter a password for the administrator and it says I have a user name or password invalid.
  -Enter my username and password and it closes, download fault.

  Can someone please help with this?

  Hello KS. GAL.86,

  Is the problem with the account of the work that you had created that has activated the Parental control? You can only configure Parental controls on a standard account and not an administrator account.

  If so, then create a new account that has not activated the parental control.

  Is the issue that you are experiencing that you can not download programs as an administrator?
  What is the exact error you get when you download a program?

  It cannot have anything to do with Parental control.

  Please answer back with more details and information.

  Thank you

• Parental controls does not open

  I can't open the Parental controls after you open once, and then close it. I can open it once after the computer has been restarted, but if I close the window, I can not open again until I restart my computer. I tried to open it from a shortcut on my desktop which produces a flash on the screen as it is going to open but immediately goes. I tried to open it directly from the control panel with nothing at all happens. I tried right click and click open between these two places. Nothing seems to work. Suggestions? I have to minimize the window of my taskbar so I can access without having to always restart my computer whenever I need to make a change, which is often. But if I accidentally close the window, I have to restart my computer to be able to open it again.

  I have Vista Home Premium SP1. We have six accounts running on your computer.

  It could be that this program could be damaged on the user account. You can try to create a new user account and test.

• Parental control blocks WMA format audio playback of the site on the list of allowed sites

  I use Windows Vista Home Edition basic pm a Compaq desktop computer. I've set up parental controls for the user account of my son. Under parental controls, I've marked ', apply the current settings,' ' we vires infromation on the use of the activity, ' no time limit are marked, games is marked not for theirs does not, all programs are allowed - none is marked to the block, and web restrictions are marked Allow list only. When he goes to his school site at home (which is on the list of allowed sites) and clicks on an audio conference that is WMA format it said of a box with Windows Media Player, along the top border and the message: Windows Media Player cannot perform the requested operation because the Parental control filter Web is turned on. To enable this action, ask your administrator to disable the web filter for your user account. Is it possible to get this set up so I don't have to temporarily turn off the parental control. Which kind of defeated the purpose controls, if I turn them off for this presentation, he will have free access to the Internet until I turn it back on. This means that I need to sit on it during the time that parental control is switched off! Not funny! I love being able to allow only the sites that I approved, if I could just allow him to hear the audio to WMA format that would be great. Any ideas?

• Unable to set Parental controls

  Help! I can't set the Parental controls! I followed the steps several times for several months! (Have given up a number of times)... after I signed the window live and selected the standard user account, I want to monitor, it says 'save' or 'Cancel '... I 'save' (obviously), and then a box pops up saying "Please wait while we set up the family safety..." This box (with its green - indicator light-saber, which goes from left to right, left to right, left to right) continues to go left right, left right, left right, for, literally HOURS.  Finally, I cancel as you can imagine.  I chose Windows Live as my provider, I looked on all the Help/Support forums.  Help, please!

  You said "parental control". It is a program of Windows Live Essentials.

  You also said "Parental control", which is usually the own integrated program of Vista.

  I guess you meant Family Safety, which belongs to the Windows Live Solution Center.

• Help parent control

  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.

• Parental controls does not: Impossible to make changes to parental controls settings. If the problem persists, see your system administrator.

  Original title: Parental control does not

  Try to set up Parental controls for my son's account. I have an account manager, go to control panel / user accounts / parental control - click on windows expects to obtain two error message with the same message: "unable to make changes to parental controls settings. If the problem persists, see your system administrator. "I'm a sysadmin, so what's the problem?

  On a side note, I have two children on this computer. Had to remove my son because he downloaded a virus. So before the two children had parental control. But when we were going to change their times permit, he would give this error message but weather changes would take place. Now that I am setting up a new account for him, can't get parental controls to work.

  Hello

  Step 1: turn off UAC (User Account Control) and check the result

  See how can I change the behavior of user account control by using the slider? :http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/How-do-I-change-the-behavior-of-User-Account-Control-by-using-the-slider

  Note: You must restart your computer when you enable or disable UAC. Change levels of notification does not require that you restart your computer.

  Step 2: I suggest to create a new administrator account and log later in the new administrator account, try to set parental controls and check if it works.
