No "Forgot Passcode" option on Mac

From my (parent's mac), trying to reset passcode for child's screentime.

I'm trying to follow the instructions on https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211021

Using the instructions under "How to reset the Screen Time passcode for your child's device" > "On a Mac":

At step 5, can click on Change Passcode, but there is nowhere to click on "forgot passcode". (I am using macOS 10.15.4)

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.15

I can't work through the steps, here, because I have no other users on the computer. I would try contacting Apple Support. Apple Support by e-mail or chat will help you get through to the option for starting a chat with them.

  1. Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
