@Shaner87  basically you or your parents need to login to your parents account and wherever your email is showing remove and replace it with your parents address 

 

this should then free your address to use when creating your own sky id

@Shaner87 you can remove it if you wish but your parents would need a new address themselves

 


If you want to use the same email address as the old account you need to remove and replace it with a different address on the old account first

You can do this yourself via this link

Once done your free to create a new sky id using the same email address here
