Screen Time Pin

I can't remember the 4 digit code I used to set up screen time on my kid's phone! Now, when I try to make changes and get the code wrong I have to wait 60 mins before I can try again!

iPhone 8, iOS 12

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.
