can't change screen time passcode

hi!

I tried to change the passcode for family member's screen time. It looks to be successful and new passcode works on my phone for enabling/disabling Downtime, but the kid's phone does not seem to get the update: old passcode still works.

Out of curiosity, I separately changed the passcode for my own screen time. New passcode is accepted and appears to be changed, but doesn't work. Old passcode still works...

Anyone else seen this??

iPhone 8, iOS 13

Changing iPad screen time passcode isn't taking effect I have gone through the steps to change my iPad screen time passcode, entering the old passcode and twice entering the new passcode. It did that successfully without any error. But when I try to open an app during downtime and am prompted for my screen time passcode, the old passcode still works but the new one doesn't. So it didn't take effect. I have restarted my iPad and also reset my screen time passcode using my Apple ID and both of those also didn't help. I don't use family sharing. I am simply using my iPad logged in with my apple ID. My daughter uses this iPad which is why I am using screen time.

Screen time passcode I had to change the screen time passcode to manage my daughter's screen time. The new passcode works ONLY on my phone. She can still use the old passcode to access screen time on her phone. We've both updated our phones and restarted. How do I fix this?

Family Sharing: Changing Screen Time Passcode Doesn't Work Hi there. I have my son's iPhone on Family Sharing and I turned on screen time and added some restrictions. My son has figured out the passcode and now when I change it, it does nothing. He can continue using the old one he figured out. Just to be clear I have gone into Settings, Screen Time, Chosen his name, Clicked on Change Screen Time Passcode on my phone and nothing happens. Please help.
