If using IOS 13.4


Screen Time passcode reset


If using an older IOS version. From the article below.


If you forgot your Screen Time passcode, update your device to the latest iOS or iPadOS then reset your passcode. If you can’t update your device, erase it and set it up as new to remove the passcode and choose a new one. Restoring your device from a backup won't remove your passcode.


Parental controls.     


If you can't reset the passcode, you will need to restore the device to factory settings. Do not restore from a backup made when the Screen Time code was active.



Restore to Factory setting.
