Question

I tried to change my screentime password, and the first time I typed in my Apple ID and password it allowed me to change the password, but the password I changed it to did not work. I now have multiple failed attempts, and cannot change my password.

I followed all of the steps on how to reset the password, but it did not work. I put in my Apple ID and password like it said to do. It allowed me to change my password, but when I typed in my new password, it said "failed attempt." I now have multiple failed attempts and cannot reset my password. I do not want to have to reset my phone. Is there a solution to this problem?

See if anything here helps.

Screen Time passcode reset

If the above doesn't work, you will need to restore the device to factory settings. Do not restore from a backup made when the Screen Time code was active.

Restore to Factory setting.
