Primary Parent Family Safety

is there a way you can change the primary parent WITHOUT logging into their account? Windows 7.

Hey Ethan,

I understand that you want to replace the primary parent in family safety. I apologize, but we do not have this option of parental control. What you can do is to reconfigure your parental control by using the new account that you have. First of all, you must disable the parental controls from your main account. Log on to https://familysafety.microsoft.com , click on the parent account, then delete the Member of the family. After you disable this, the account that you added can now serve as primary parent account. Just reconfigure on the computer that you are managing.

Please note that if you are using Windows 7, you need to reinstall the client of parental control and configure the new account.

It will be useful. If you have additional questions on the computer, please ask your question about Windows and we will be happy to help you.

    Hi fsscayc,

    Regarding your password problem, I will convey this to our Windows Live team as a feature request for a future version of the program. The team of the said values and recognizes the suggestions and feedback from users of the Windows Live products. You can also submit this page http://feedback.live.com/ and select "Windows Live Family Safety".

    When you go to fss.live.com and it redirects you to the website "Live Essentials", this indicates that the account has not yet been defined in the client Windows Live Family Safety. You must connect to the customer first before you can access fss.live.com.

    On the prompt "only an adult can connect as a Parent Family Safety. Ask an adult to log in.' it is possible that you tried to open a session with a Windows Live account does not have the required age of the customer sign of family security.

    Let us know if you have followed all of questions about this.

    Thank you

  • How do I create a Parent account to Windows Live family safety?

    Hello

    I have a Windows Live account and I have created several others to implement parental controls of Windows, but I could not.  With all the accounts that I created, I continue to encounter one or two messages error with or the other account.  It is said that "this service is not available at this time" and other States that the account is not registered as a Parent.  I read the comments to discussion threads where advice is given on how to fix known issues associated with these error messages, and none of them work for me.  When I connect to Windows Live with an account, any account, they look alike, and it is never an option to add a child with the exception of the link subsumed under permissions.  When I click permissions and click to add an account, all that I see is the ability to add social media accounts in my Windows Live account.  I tried almost every permutation I can think to solve this problem.  Provide advice.  Thank you.

  • Control parental Windows installed and it won't access family safety Web page

    Hi, I installed Windows Essential 2012 on my gateway (running Windows7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit).  I want to run Family Safety, which currently runs on my two laptops (running Windows 8.1 and Windows7 Home Premium SP1 32-bit).  After you have installed Windows Essentials, when I try to open the parental controls on a standard user account, it will not open a browser window to the parental Windows web page (have IE installed 11).  The program does nothing, even if it shows the Windows parental control as the program of choice.   I tried the following:

    -Repair Windows Essentials 2012 - does not solve the problem

    -Uninstalled and reinstalled Windows Essentials 2012 - does not solve the problem

    -Tried to create a new standard user account - does not allow me to install parental controls with Windows parental control

    -J' I also have to make sure that Windows is up to date, confirmed with Windows Update and all available patches/updates are installed

    I have uninstalled Windows Essentials again and am currently using the basic parental control Windows7, but really want to use the Windows parental control program.  Do you have any suggestions?

    Thank you

  • Exception type: 1F88A3ED family safety

    I set up the family safety on my windows laptop 8 without problem. At that time, I used my work e-mail account as my login information from microsoft.  I then added a mail alias electronic outlook my live account from microsoft as my primary alias.  When I logged in security for the family with this alias, he wouldn't let me change family safety settings and directed me to change my account on the family safety website. He did not know how to do, so I ended up add me as a parent again using my new alias.  Now I can't use the family safety website at all, I get a message saying that something went wrong, please visit the forum Exception Type: 1F88A3ED.  I can't find information on this particular problem, can help you please.

    Hi there - this happened to me, and the only way to fix it was to remove the second version of me on the family safety website. I hope it will work for you too!

  • Windows 8 family safety

    I bought a HP Pavilion g6-2218nr with Windows 8 (64 bit) for my 10 year old daughter for Christmas and really want to activate the security settings for the family.  No matter what I do, when I go into parental control settings, I get an error "Sorry, we could not make changes to parental controls settings."  I tried:

    -Updating of the BONE

    -a clean install of the operating system

    -change of a local account to a windows account that is linked to me (parent)

    -modification of a local account to a windows related to my daughter account

    Either way, once I started using a Windows account, I tried to go into the settings of PC more-> account settings Online-> permissions-> parental settings and try to activate the parameters of family from there, I see the error "there is a temporary problem with the service.

  • Family Safety Windows blocking is not enough

    I have activated Windows parental controls for a child account on Windows 8.1 and disabled all applications that are registered except Chrome.

    I tested and it blocks a lot of things, but allows much more than just Chrome.

    I disabled the downloads in the center of the family, but downloading files via Chrome still works.

    Once connected was - this child account, I opened regedit and was able to tinker around in the registry and change everything that can create or modify a standard user account.

    Notepad works.  I created a .bat with some commands file and saved to the desktop.  Then, I clicked on it and run the script without any problems.

    Turn off all the sliders to block applications seems to give a false impression that the user is locked a lot more than they really are.

    Are there other applications and executable blocking settings that can be activated in the parental control?

    How can I set this up so that the child's account runs, which is expressly authorized in the white list and no other programs such as regedit, notebook, random scripts, etc.. ?

    I want this Windows system either as malware as possible evidence all being usable for surfing the web like a Chromebook, but this does not do.

    If the download blocking only works for IE, I couldn't remove Chrome in the list allow applications, but this still does not resolve the other issues listed.

  • Family safety is unable to connect to the service, WMI/COM questions

    So, to start with the necessary technical information.  I'm having the problem on new systems within one of these configurations:

    Windows 8 improved to 8.1

    Windows Pro upgraded to 8.1 8.1

    After I installed the operating system and all the available patches, I can add an account and (to Win 8) Note that accounts for the child.  If I try to point 8.1, I get error dreaded "we can communicate with the service right now, please try again later".

    In Control Panel, when I click on 'Manage settings on the Security site family' I pause then the error "sorry, the service is not available.

    Search in the event logs, in the Microsoft-Windows-WMI-activity/Operational log I get an error, 5858 EventID:

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi MarKenin,

    I am a developer in the parental control team.  I'm sorry that you have had this problem with our product.  I don't want to thank you for providing an impressive amount of detail in your message.

    The WMI event, you found is indeed notable--it was our attempt to contact our service to add your machine to the parental control service.  The error code was an HRESULT value of 0x803D0013, which indicates that the web service returned an error.  There is no way to pick which was exactly the mistake, but we do actively monitor and review the errors that occur on our service to identify and solve problems that arise.

    We found a question that might have prevented Microsoft specific accounts to set up parental controls on all devices, the period you were trying to bring to the top of your devices.  The problem has been resolved, and we continue to monitor our service as well as these forums to identify new issues.

    Thank you

    Daniel

  • The family safety web filtering does not work after upgrade to Windows 8

    Hello, I upgraded a laptop for Windows Vista 8 and family safety works more fully.

    I have updated to the 2012 essentials and I can confirm that parental control is executed. App and time restrictions still work fine, but the filtering of the web site does not work.

    I have web filtering set to allow list only, with 3 sites listed - google, Wikipedia and BBC - but I can access all of the web content.

    I also tried to delete the files in ProgramData/Microsoft/Windows/Parental Controls such as suggested in other posts, but it did not work.

    I can also confirm that WpcMon.exe is running.

    Can you advise what could be the problem?

    Thank you

    Hello

The use of the parental control client that is included in Windows Essentials might not work properly. As before, you upgrade using Windows Vista, you can follow the steps described in this article (click on parental controls) to move properly the configuration of the client of parental control for the parental controls feature integrated in Windows 8.
