The only way to remove an unknown Screen Time password is to fully erase the phone and restore it from a back up that was made before the password was set. If you do not have such a backup, you must fully erase the phone and set it up again from scratch.

Good luck.

You will have to reset it using iTunes. Do you have a computer?
