Screen time passcode

My phone keeps asking me for a screen time passcode when I try to access some things but I never set it. I tried all the basic ones like 1234 and 0000 but none of them seem to work. I read somewhere that the passcode might be the same as the one you had for restrictions or if your phone is connected to a family members but I never did any of these things. Is there anything I can do?

iPhone 6s, iOS 12

Screen time passcode locked I tried to set up screen time on an iPhone 11 and when I try and change things it says my screen time passcode is incorrect. I kept trying different combos in case I typed it wrong the first time. Now every time I try it it says try again in 60 minutes but I need change it. I’ve used screen time successfully on another phone so I know how it all works but I can’t access anything to change the screen time passcode. There is no forgotten option it just keeps giving me try again in 60 mins.
