Screen time

I forgot my screen time password, and it says to change password, you must enter the iCloud password. However, it won’t let me type it in

Can you sign in other places using that ID and password? You are using the ID and password that was used during the set up?

This happened to me as well

I have quite a few failed attempts at guessing the password for Screen Time and when I do ‘forgot passcode?’ then enter my details it closes the pop up that you type in and seems to have done it but then it adds to the failed attempts and says ‘wait 60 minutes‘

I tried to sign out of my Apple ID then back in but no luck

Screen time
