Screen time passcode reset

I followed the apple support instructions on how to reset my screen time passcode because I couldn't remember the original one and I need it in order to reset my phone before selling it on elsewhere (I have recently upgraded to a newer phone and contract).

However, after resetting the passcode it still does not work and doesn't recognise what it has been changed to. I switched the phone off and on again but with no luck so far, and continues to not be recognised.

Is there any way you can help please?

iPhone 8, iOS 13
