Screentime problems

Hello. My phone has screen time on it and my parents forgot the password so is there any way to get the password back or reset my phone without having to type in the screen time password?

iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 13

The password to Screen Time HAS TO BE reset on your parent's iPhone. It cannot be done on yours.

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.
