You will also have to know the Windows Live ID credentials (the e-mail address and password that you use to sign in to the Windows Live ID) for the parent's Windows Live ID account. The parent's Windows Live ID account determines the access to the Family Settings in the console.

    • Multiplayer Online Games
      This option restricts your child from playing multiplayer sessions.
    • Original Xbox Online Games
      This option restricts your child from playing original Xbox Live enabled games.
