Congratulations, you have a child account. No I don't know how to upgrade it to an adult account. I can look a bit though.

How to promote a child account to adult account status blah blah blah... (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/945418?sd=xbox)

Well I've never had to do it myself, but I've heard of other people on the xbox forums saying they can't download game content rated M when they have a child account. It's really just my best guess.

How about:
Create a silver XBL account via http://xbox.com with an age of 47 or something and then log onto that from your xbox. That what I do, since I have the same problem. The only thing that doesn't work is when you want to download a demo or something that you can only download with a gold account.

This doesn't work because i've looked everywhere and cannot find the promote child account thing anywhere.
