If the instructions to turn SafeSearch off don't seem to work for you, there are a couple of things you can quickly check:
- You may have been using a “safe” network such as at a school or workplace, where SafeSearch has been turned on to comply with organization policy. Check with the administrator of your local network.
- Your internet service provider may have implemented a default SafeSearch filter to comply with government regulations. This was a known situation in some countries such as the UK and some Middle Eastern countries, but appears also to now be the case with providers in other countries, especially for new accounts. Check with your provider — you may need to opt out, change a setting or, as a last resort, change your provider.
- Google may think you are under age for restricted material. Check your birthday in your Google account: Update your account to meet age requirements - Google Account Help
