Before you can start setting up protection for your children, you must designate someone in your household who will be the Parental Controls administrator. You must be logged in to your PC as a Windows Administrator to create a Parental Controls administrator.
Protection settings let you decide what your child can see and do online and which programs they can use, and the password ensures that only you can make changes to those settings. To change a setting, you must first enter the administrator password. If you forgot your password, you can easily recover it.
