The only way to reset the screen time passcode is to force the phone into recovery mode and restore iOS or erase the device using Find My, then set it up as a NEW device. You can NOT restore a backup made after the passcode was set. If you do, you'll end up right back where you started. The passcode is part of the backup.


As for the password protected backup, if you can't remember the password, the backup is useless.
