Forgot Family Share four digit code

Trying to set up my daughters new iPad mini 4 with the Family Share and make a few changes. Is there anyway to find the code or change it? It has been so long since we set it up for our older kids that I cannot remember the last time we used it, and I’ve tried every code that I think I would have used. If someone could help out that would be great. Thanks

I believe Family Sharing relies on your Screen Time passcode (was a Restrictions passcode before iOS 12).


If you forgot this code, you must erase your device and set it up as new. You cannot restore a backup, as that will restore the old unknown passcode.
