Question asked on Oct 22, 2013

I am trying to install Office 2013 on a Windows 8.1 PC.

In the process I had to create an outlook.com account as I did not want to use my Hotmail account. (Very maddening.)

I did not want to enter my birthday, (also very maddening) so I entered today's date.

So, the outlook.com account was created as a child account. (Very, very maddening.)

I cannot log into it to change it or delete it without an adult giving permission. (Very, very, very maddening.)

I refuse to incur a $0.50 charge to claim the account as my account.

Can we just delete the account?

Thanks!
