how to reset the screen time passcode on ios 12
iPhone 6, iOS 12
Question marked as
On iOS 12 there was no method to use your Apple ID to help reset the Screen Time Passcode. This was only introduced in iOS 13. If you forgot your Screen Time passcode - Apple Support
You cannot upgrade to iOS 13 if you're on the iPhone 6.
So, you can:
- Try guess some common passcodes that you might have used. (I notice you've already tried this!)
- Official Apple Method: Erase everything and set up your device as new by going to Settings > Reset > Reset All Content and Settings. (Again, this will erase everything. And you must set up your device as new again. You cannot use your old backups because your backups will include your passcode too.)
- Use a third-party tool, pin finder
