You will need to erase your device.


And you cannot restore from a backup after, because the screen time passcode is saved in the backup.


You have 2 options how to erase device:

Erase a device in Find My iPhone on iCloud.com - Apple Support

or following the same steps as if you forgot passcode:

If you forgot the passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support


Good luck!
