4. Log In (If Prompted): If you’re not already logged in, you might be prompted to log in to your Google account. Log in to make changes to your account settings.
5. Confirm Age: You might need to confirm your age to turn off Restricted Mode. This step is to prevent unauthorized users from changing the setting.

Remember that Restricted Mode is designed to help filter out potentially sensitive or mature content. Disabling it may result in exposure to content that might not be suitable for all viewers. If you’re using YouTube with younger audiences, consider carefully whether turning off Restricted Mode is appropriate.
