Here is Apple’s guidance on changing/removing/reseting the ScreeTime passcode.

If you are currently running a version of iPadOS prior to iPadOS 13.4.1, update to the current version of iPadOS if you can. Once updated to iPadOS 13.4.1 or later, a mechanism exists to reset the ScreenTime passcode. Without you providing details of your iPad model, only you can determine if this update is available to you.
If you cannot update to iPadOS 13.4.1, or you have an earlier version of iOS installed, it is not possible to reset a forgotten ScreeTime passcode. Instead, you must erase and set-up again as new - and will not be able to restore data from you backup (the backup will contain the encrypted ScreenTime passcode that has been forgotten).
I hope this information and clarification is helpful.
