Should I call Apple tech to help me? Thanks for reading and help.
If you have updated your iPad to iPadOS 13.4, you can now reset your ScreenTime (a.k.a Restrictions) passcode:

If you have an older model iPad that is running an earlier version of iOS that cannot be updated to iPadOS 13.4, then you’ll have to erase your device and set-up as new. In this situation, you’ll not be able to restore your iCloud/iTunes backup, as doing so would also restore the forgotten passcode.
Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content & Settings
I hope you find this information to be helpful in resolving the problem.

As documented in the linked information, the Forgot Password option for ScreenTime was introduced in iPadOS 13.4. If you don’t have iPadOS 13.4 or later installed on your iPad, you must instead reset the device and “set-up as new”.
Thank you ! I follow the instruction updated the ipad and got to the forgot pass word, after i verfy , my id and password i got to change a new pass code. Right after i finished changing ,y code I start turning on downtime and its asking me for my code. i enter my code and it said wrong code, I’m confused cause i know what i just enter. After 5 attempts i still didn’t get the code right.
I then did the whole forget password again and it is not taking me to the enter new pass word anymore.
what is wrong?
I am slow with tech but why this is so hard
You can either repeat the first (linked) process to change and ultimately remove the ScreenTime passcode - or use the second process that resets the iPad.
One way or the other, you should be able to remove the ScreenTime passcode from your iPad.
Does not work in the real world. Have updated to latest IOS. There is no Forgot Screen time Passcode option.
Apple just does not get it. They have made this such an unwieldy non user friendly operating system. Shame.
screen time pass code ?
