Restriction Code

I want to factory reset an iPhone 6, and when I choose Erase All Content and Settings, it asks me for the Restriction passcode and I don't know what it is. Any help appreciated.

4 Digit Passcode is for Screen Time Restrictions

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.
