When you need to odstranit Family Link, Googleova aplikace pro rodičovskou kontrolu, která umožňuje omezovat čas, blokovat aplikace a sledovat polohu dítěte. Also known as Google Family Link, it is designed for children under 13, but many parents later want to remove it when their child grows up — even if they don’t remember the password. This isn’t about bypassing rules. It’s about transitioning from control to trust.
Removing Family Link without the password isn’t a hack. It’s a supported feature in Google’s system — if you know where to look. The key is understanding that Family Link is tied to a child’s Google account, and that account can be converted into a regular adult account. Once converted, the parental controls vanish automatically. You don’t need to delete data, reset the device, or risk losing photos, games, or school files. You just need to access the account settings from a computer or another device where you’re signed in as the parent.
Many parents get stuck because they think they need the child’s password. But you don’t. You need your own parent account credentials. Google lets you manage this from your own dashboard. The process takes less than five minutes. You’ll find the option under "Manage family" in your Google Account settings. From there, you can remove the child’s account from your family group and convert it. The child keeps everything — their apps, documents, YouTube history — but now they’re in full control. No more time limits. No more app approvals. Just a normal Google account.
Some parents worry this will lead to chaos. But the real danger isn’t removing Family Link — it’s removing it too late. If you wait until your child is 15 and still under parental control, they’ll feel like they’re being watched. That’s when trust breaks. The goal isn’t to remove controls because you’re giving up. It’s to remove them because your child is ready. And if you don’t remember the password? That’s okay. Google’s system was built for exactly this moment.
Family Link isn’t a prison. It’s a training wheel. And like training wheels, it’s meant to come off. The question isn’t how to remove it — it’s when. If your child is asking for more freedom, if they’re managing their time well, if they’re talking about online risks instead of hiding them — that’s your signal. You don’t need to force the change. You just need to know how to do it cleanly.
In the posts below, you’ll find step-by-step guides on how to remove Family Link without the password, what happens after removal, how to handle situations where the child has changed the password, and what alternatives exist if you’re not ready to fully let go. You’ll also learn why some parents keep Family Link too long — and why that can backfire. These aren’t tech tricks. They’re real-life solutions for real families.
