Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I setup a child id for my daughter via the family sharing option on the iPhone.
I never got any password set for that thing. Now when I want to setup her iPad and try to use her Id I can't because I have no password associated with it. And when trying to reset the password it wants to verify my rights, and set it to her email which is the id Ive never used before or setup email for..
Im in some weird loop where I dont whats what.. Please help.

As Limos posted above, your email address should be the rescue email address for the child ID. Ask for the reset email to be sent again.
See if anything in Section 3 helps.
Apple ID - Password/Security Questions verification e-mail not received. *
Ive verified my phone number but they want to send the instructions on to how to reset her ID's password by sending it to her email which she cannot access because it has never been set up. This wildly annoying. Why wasn't I given password when I set up her account in the first place.
So is her password my password?
I only know what that document says. My interpretation is they are not the same password but you have the ability to reset the child's password.
