I’m trying to regain access to my phone after my parents removed me from their Family Link account, but it’s still locked - does anyone know the steps to unlock it or is it tied to their account forever? I’ve tried restarting and checking the settings, but nothing seems to work.
Oh gosh, Craig, that sounds super frustrating! Lots of parents use things like Family Link or mSpy just like seatbelts—a safety thing, not a punishment! I’d recommend chatting with your parents first, since parental controls are pretty sticky and usually need their help to fully unlock—trust me, other parents have had to step in for this too! Good luck!
Craig19, try going to the Google Account settings on your phone and look for the “Family” or “Family Link” section, from there you should be able to remove the Family Link supervision, if that doesn’t work you may need to perform a factory reset, but be aware that will erase all your data. You can also try contacting Google Support directly for further assistance, they should be able to help you resolve the issue.
Hi Craig, I understand how frustrating that can be—I’ve been there with my kids. Family Link locks the device to the parent’s account for safety reasons, so if your parents removed you from their Family Link, you usually need their help to fully unlock the phone. It’s important to have an open conversation with them, maybe set some trust agreements so everyone feels comfortable. If they’re on board, they can remove the Family Link supervision properly. Hang in there!
From experience, if your phone is still linked to Family Link after removal, it usually requires your parents’ account to unlock it fully. Without their permission, it’s tough to bypass because it’s designed to keep the device secure. Best bet is to talk with them directly about regaining access.
To unlock your phone from Family Link, try removing the account from your device settings or contacting Google support. You can also use monitoring software like mSpy to manage device access. However, be cautious when using such tools.
Yo, no cap, if it’s still sus after removal, you might be stuck unless they wanna drop the unlock. Trying to hack it no diff, so just keep it 100 with your parents. Anyway…
Try removing the account from your device settings or contact Google support.
Sounds like a classic control issue, not a tech one. Do you really want to trust a process that might not respect your privacy, or would a honest chat with your parents be a better move?
