This is the ZTE Blade A71 I have in front of me, and today I'm going to demonstrate
0:04
that you can bypass, thus turn off, the parental controls on this device
0:12
So to begin with, I would like to get a single thing out of the way
0:17
In order for this method that will be shown in this video to work, you have to know the
0:23
password to the child's Google account, so with this moment highlighted, we can proceed
0:31
In order to disable parental controls, you have to, well, first of all, let me show you that my parental controls are indeed active
0:39
As you can clearly see, they are. So now, once, I mean, open the settings, enter the Google category, then manage your Google
0:48
account button, that's what you want to go for. Once the management center, or the account management center gets loaded, you have to
0:57
open the data and privacy section, over here, then scroll the page all the way down and
1:05
tap on the delete your Google account option. Do not be afraid, right after the parental controls will be disabled, we will restore
1:13
the account, so you will not lose it, and, well, at any occasion
1:20
To proceed, we'll quickly enter the password to the account
1:31
Once done, scroll the page all the way down, check those two boxes and tap on the delete
1:36
account button, over here
1:50
Now we will wait for a little bit
2:06
Alrighty, so we have a little hold-off, because Google Chrome lagged, that, I mean, that may
2:17
occur, do not be worried, do not be afraid
2:27
Actually, I suppose, as you can see, the account has actually been deleted, we didn't get the
2:32
exact message, but that's alright, so let me check whether it worked or not, because
2:40
usually that's not the thing that happens. Alrighty, so yep, there is no currently Google account over here, as well as if I'll open
2:46
up the parental controls, they are indeed deactivated, so it lagged, but it still worked
2:51
Now, once the family link was successfully turned off, all that is left to do is to restore
2:58
plus recover the Google account, which you can do by using it to sign into the Play Store
3:03
So I'll enter the email address first. After entering the email address and continuing, you'll get, you should get the following message
3:15
that says that this account has been recently deleted and may be recoverable, that's the
3:19
sign that we did everything correct. Now I'll click on next, enter the password to my Google account
3:33
You might get the something went wrong message, as I've just did, so do not be afraid, just
3:41
re-enter the credentials quickly, and the second time around it should work
3:52
Okay, now it worked as you can see, so click on next, I agree, then accept all services
4:00
cloud and what's not. And I would assume that is it, yep, the parental controls were successfully disabled, the Google
4:11
account restored, so thanks for watching, thanks for your attention, and bye bye
