How can I reset my restrictions/screen time password without a computer? I don’t have a computer but I can’t figure out my restrictions password. Any help?

You can try this tip but there has been recent discussion if this method actually works. If it does for you then please tell us.

If you forgot the restrictions or ScreenTime passcode you can restore from a backup but that backup has to date from before you set the restrictions/Screen Time passcode


If it does not work, go to an Apple Store or someplace with a computer.
