You will have to restore the iPhone to factory and set it up as new. You cannot restore a backup, as the Screen Time passcode is part of the backup and will just put it back on. From this support document, 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.
