It would be much better if you could remember that passcode, because in such a situation you only have 2 options:
Cohabit with the current ScreenTime setting
or
Erase that iphone and start from scratch, loosing all data that are there (since, even if you have a backup, you can't restore data because that forgotten passcode would come back again).
See this paragraph:
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.
