    Does a parent have access to the account thru Microsoft Family Safety? (they can reset the password)

    Hello ants kanar,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum. It's my pleasure to help you today.

    I understand that you are struggling trying to log in with your Xbox account. Before we proceed, I'd like to know if you are still able to log in to account.microsoft.com and account.xbox.com with your account? Please let me know. Unfortunately, forum moderators are unable to access accounts for security and privacy reasons, so if you need to reset password, you still need to access it follows the instruction in the "Forget password".

    Regarding your Xbox app, first of all let try to reset it to see if it let you sign in with another account.

    • Go to Settings > Apps > Installed apps
    • Select the three dots next to the Xbox app. > Advanced settings
    • Select "Reset"
    • Restart your PC and try again.

    I'm waiting for your reply so we can work on it together.
