How to change screen time password

The general instructions don’t work, screen time password doesn’t change after successful entering my Apple ID. I am just taken back again on the same stage of “entering your old screen password/forgot password?”

This can happen if the passcode was originally a Restrictions passcode that migrated to being the Screen Time passcode with iOS 12 or later.
