Your saved data for software titles that have parental controls enabled will become locked after un-linking your Nintendo Account. You will be prompted to enter your password if you try to launch these restricted software titles again until they are over 18 years old. This is to ensure younger users cannot access Mature or Adult rated software. For more information about age ratings please visit our support site.
Can I keep my Nintendo Account active if I unlink my console?
If you prefer to retain your user data for games and apps, but would like to remove your console from your Nintendo Account, you can do so by following these steps: Log into the Nintendo Account website with the Nintendo Account that is linked to your switch console: https://accounts.nintendo.com/ Select “My Information” and then select “Nintendo Switch”. Select “Unlink selected device” and follow the on-screen instructions to complete this process. Please note that after unlinking your switch console from your account, it will no longer appear in accounts.nintendo.com or on the Nintendo Switch Parental Controls app.
If you would like to re-link your switch console, just follow these steps:
Log into the Nintendo Account website with the Nintendo Account that is linked to your switch console: https://accounts.nintendo.com/ Select “My Information” and then select “Nintendo Switch”. Choose “Link a New Device” and follow the on-screen instructions to complete this process. You will need to restart your switch and sign in with a new user (or parental control user) in order to play games or use applications requiring parental controls after linking an existing device again. The previously linked users data will not transfer over
You can change the Parental Control User for your system by following these steps:
Go to System Settings > Users > Your user account > Change Parental Controls Password . Once you have set a new password, your child will need to enter their own birth-date and sign out of the Parental Controls system so that they can no longer use parental controls. Return to the previous menu and select “Linked Nintendo Accounts” from under the Users heading. Select Link a New Account and follow the instructions on screen. After linking an existing account, select “Nintendo eShop & Software Downloads” from the next menu. You should now be able to purchase content with linked credit cards or other payment methods.
If you plan to unlink a console that has been linked with your child’s Nintendo Account, we recommend that you unlink the account from the system first and then change the Parental Control User so that they can no longer access parental control features before unlinking. This will prevent them from creating an additional user to regain access.
If you would like help removing content and linking consoles please contact our Customer Service team at http://support.nintendo.com or look in our Support section here on our website for further assistance.
How do Parental Controls work for my Nintendo Switch console?

You can also create multiple users on one system and customize each one to suit the needs of different family members. More information about this feature is available here: https://support.nintendo.com/help/switch#pk_switch-parental-controls
Another useful feature is online chat rooms which let you and other parents talk directly with our moderators 24/7 about any questions or concerns you have regarding your children’s use of Nintendo Switch software or online features, such as the Nintendo eShop.
