If you have forgotten the ScreenTime passcode (a.k.a. restrictions passcode), one of the two procedures outlined within this link should resolve the problem:
If you forgot your Screen Time passcode - Apple Support
If your iPad is capable of supporting iPadOS 13 or later, you should update to the most current version before attempting to resolve a forgotten ScreenTime passcode. The most recent iPadOS updates have introduced a new mechanism whereby a forgotten ScreenTime passcode can be reset without wiping the iPad.
To reset a forgotten ScreenTime passcode on older versions of iOS/iPadOS, the iPad must be reset “as new”, losing all locally stored data. In this situation, you’ll not be able to restore your data from an iCloud or iTunes backup - as the forgotten passcode is integral to the backup.
I hope this information is helpful to you in successfully resetting your forgotten passcode.
