Reset Screen time passcode on administrator account.

I use screen time with family sharing to control my kids usage. I have set up a passcode for each of the kids. But since theres also is the possibility to set a passcode on my own user I accidentally set a code on myself. This is no good i know. But since there is several places you enter the passcode (under each kid) and under the main menu it happened.... Can i use my apple ID to reset the screen time code for the family administrator. Or is there any other way?

Greetings Tocke,

Thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities! I understand you've set a Screen Time passcode for yourself, and you're unable to verify the passcode.

You'll need to erase your device to resolve the issue of a forgotten Screen Time passcode, as outlined in the following article: Use Screen Time on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

"If you can't remember a restrictions passcode that you set on a previous version of iOS, or you forgot your Screen Time passcode, you need to erase your device, then set it up as a new device to remove the passcode. Restoring your device from a backup won't remove your passcode."

Kind regards.
