SOURCE: password on famliy setting for xbox live preowed console

From the XBox website:


Managing Xbox LIVE Activity
Xbox LIVE Controls come into play only when you take Xbox 360 online, and they're linked to a child's profile and gamertag. When an Xbox LIVE account is created, the service asks for the member’s age to determine whether to apply Family Settings to that account.
Parents are also required to create or use an existing Windows Live ID. The Windows Live ID is associated with the child’s Xbox LIVE account and protects the settings from being changed later by the child. To change a child’s settings, first select the child’s account name and connect to Xbox LIVE. Once signed in, enter your Windows Live ID password to unlock the settings.
To see these controls, go to My Xbox, open System Settings, then selectFamily Settings, Xbox LIVE Controls.

Xbox 360 slim

Start with the PS3 system turned off. Press and hold the power button until you hear three consecutive beeps then let go. Then repeat step one again. This time the last beep will be two consecutive beeps. This will put your PS3 system into safe mode. Click option 2. Restore default settings. Warning This will Reset all Settings.

I dont have xbox live my son put family settings on and he cant remeber the password or reset password. what should i do. This is the series numer of my box :017709484407

Your best bet is to go to a local video game store, where they will be able to remove the settings through a data transfer. If that doesn't work , you may have to get a new hard drive. You can always recover an xbox live account from another xbox, so don't worry about losing your account (unless the account was never connected to Xbox Live in the first place, then there's a good chance you lost your account).

I have put a family settings password but i have forgot it

I had this problem when I bought my Xbox 360 used - the owner had a family password and didn't take it off before sending it to me!
The only fix I know of and what worked for me was to call Microsoft at 1-800-4MY-XBOX. They were able to reset it for me.

Forgot password to unlock family settings on xbox 360?

I've managed to come across this from someone who called microsoft with the same problem (it seems quite common)
Go into settings Console settings Then device settings (The one with the blue screen)
Then go:
left trigger, right trigger, x, y, left bumper, right bumper,
left with left stick, up with left stick, right with left stick, x

If you have trouble use the pad instead of stick, but I could only get the stick to work..

I hope that helps

Mike

Dont know password

if that is a password for the xbox live passcode, the passcode being asked everytime you sign in, the password is the password itself when you try to recover your gamertag

if that is a passcode for watching videos, or something.

that is a family settings passcode, the only way to override that is to call tech support, give the console serial number of your xbox of course, the serial number has a unique reset code attached to it..
tech support will give you some things to press on sytem info page of the dashboard to reset the family settings
