Forgotten Screen Time Passcode

I have an iPad for school work and I have forgotten my ScreenTime/DownTime passcode. Since I can’t erase the iPad - what should I do to reset the passcode?

*I don’t know how long ago I changed the passcode. It was before I updated it to the most recent version.


Thank you in advance

If you need to reset your ScreeTime passcode, you’ll need to follow one of these procedures:

If you have iPadOS 13.4.1 installed, you’re in luck - as this version introduces, for the first time in iOS/iPadOS, a simple reset mechanism!

The linked help page clearly states the process:




  • Enter the Apple ID and password* that you used to set up the Screen Time passcode.
  • Enter a new Screen Time passcode, then enter it again to confirm.
