Out of the blue, my screen time password stopped working. I did not forget it. I even used a program to find out what my screen time password was and I put in that password and it still didn’t work. I do not want to have to reset my phone. Has anyone experienced this? Is there any way to fix it without completely resetting my phone? Thanks for your help!
iPhone 8, iOS 12
If you have forgotten the passcode then there is no other way.
If you forget your 4 digit Screen Time Passcode
4 Digit Passcode is for Screen Time Restrictions
4/6 Digit Passcode is for iPhone lock screen
Make sure to choose a passcode that's different from the passcode you use to unlock your device. If you can't remember a restrictions passcode that you set on a previous version of iOS, or you forgot your Screen Time passcode, you need to erase your device, then set it up as a new device to remove the passcode. Restoring your device from a backup won't remove your passcode.

Thank you for your reply. I think there’s a glitch in it or something because I didn’t forget my passcode. I know what it is and even checked it using a program that finds the passcode. But, that password doesn’t work.
