Screen time password

I have backed up my new phone (iphone 6s), and I realized that my screen time is still active. I have forgotten my password, so I am wondering if there is any way to reclaim my password because my screen time was originally for my child.


Thank you

iPhone 6s, iOS 12

No, there isn't. You cannot use a backup, because the password is in the backup, you would just put it back. The only way to deal with a forgotten screen time password is to restore the phone to factory and set it up as new, without using a backup.
