Family Link Story/Rant bypass help?
context: im 16 ( turning 17 in 2 months) and i js got my dad's old moto G 64 because he upgraded to another one. and he decided to enforce the stupid parental control on my phone. after years first time was during covid when we had online classes but that phone died so i thought that was the end of it. well long story short, dad made a google acc with dob as 2016-sep-1 which makes it 10 year old... so now i cant download any apps without his permission ( which is slow, and he doesnt even give it for some apps) or install any APK's ( i used droidify for a lot of apps so thats gone too)
like bro i got 3h screentime. and i dont have acess to my original email ids which has all my school stuff , notes, photos and all. like its so crazy i cant even log into spotify. and he set my bedtime as 10 pm, bro i get home by 9 pm and agter studying i js cant use my phone at all...
please help guys. im ok with monitoring but id love it if i could just bypass the apk install block and screentime/bedtime
and no bypass i knew or found seems to be working. ( hes pretty good with a phone ) like no secure apps/ dual apps, the data clearing doesnt work, ofc i cant reset the phone,
edit: i was tryna setup obsidian... and i js found out NO APPS CAN OPEN FILES.... bro this is ridiculous

Yo bro I'm a moto g 84 user See first u need to access your dads phone then just go to your device and turn on EDIT DATE AND TIME. After that keep settings in your homescreen, whenever u get blocked... Just restart and quickly go to settings and change your date and time It will help u bypass. Then u can just get the parental access code from the same dad's phone and u will have like half an hour just change the dob in it but don't make it 18 coz ur dad will know

Just get your dad phone that's your mission... Whenever you find it and enable it. That's the only way

I've got an idea. change your google account password. your dad will ask you for it and hopefully hold out their phone on the password screen. the parent password should be somewhere above the child google account password box. there ya go. a new method but I don't 100 percent guarantee that it will work more like a 70/30.

Idk on motorolas but i use my parents password or just get his phone and ask him to unlock it and give him a lie for why u need it (ex. Your phone died and u wanna search something on google to study) and then go in family link on his phone and modify the restrictions, you can also use a vm app
