Introduction
Setting up the Epic Games parental control PIN on a child account is a great way to let your child play their favorite Epic Games games, like Fortnite, Rocket League and Fall Guys, but ensuring they can’t talk or chat with strangers, friend people you don’t know, and much more. However, if you’re child wants to add a friend that you approve of, or if they are getting older and you want to relax some of the parental controls restrictions, you’re gonna need to enter your existing PIN code in order to do that. And if you forgot it, don’t panic. Resetting your Epic Games parental control PIN code is relatively easy.
