Forgotten ScreenTime passcode

My child's MacBook Air has Screen Time set up, which I can operate via Family Sharing. We've forgotten the passcode and tried everything we can possibly remember. I've followed the Apple Support instructions for resetting it on my iPhone as well as on my iMac. But there's never a link to "Forgot Passcode?" as the support page's screenshots show. Not sure what's happening. Can anyone suggest a way around this? Thanks in advance!

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.15
