I forgot my screen time passcode I put on my Macbook. do I have to reset it to factory setting to undo this?

I made a screen time passcode on my Macbook last year when my little sister borrowed it for school. Im just now realizing I have no idea what i made the passcode because I stupidly forgot to write it down. do I have to reset my entire computer to take the screen time code off/reset it? I didn't have it logged into my Apple ID so it doesn't give me the option for "forgot passcode" what can I do?
