Everything on here says to go to the family account select your child and change the password but change password isn't an option....

Hello Brett Hardin

Welcome To Microsoft Q&A Forum

I understand the frustration caused by changing the passwords. You're right, there is no direct "Change Password" option for a child account in the Microsoft Family Safety dashboard - this is by design for security reasons.

Here are some steps that you can kindly follow to help reset your child's password:

1. Visit Microsoft password reset page
2. Select "I forgot my password" and enter your child's Microsoft account email.
3. Verify your identity as the parent:
   • Use the recovery email or phone number you set up when creating the child's account.
   • If you didn't set recovery options, you'll need to full out the Account Recovery Form
4. Create a new password once verification succeeds
5. Update device and apps:
   • After resetting, sign back into the Microsoft Family Safety app and any devices linked to the child's account.

NOTES:

• If the account has no recovery info and no prior activity, recovery might fail. In such cases, Microsoft cannot override the process for security reasons.
• There is no shortcut through Family Safety—it’s the same process as any Microsoft account.

I hope it helps, please feel free to let me know if you need any further assistance.

Thank you for your time.
