Screen time passcode

My child figured out the screen time passcode, so I changed my passcode for her phone. However she can still put in the old code on her phone and get pass the restrictions. How to change the passcode on her phone

Hey there, SJWwww!


Thanks for reaching out in Apple Support Communities! If we understand correctly, you have restrictions set up with Screen Time on your child's iPhone, but they are still able to enter the old passcode to bypass these restrictions.


How did you go about changing the code? Were you following the steps in the support article below:


Use parental controls on your child's iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support


If you didn't follow the steps mentioned in the linked resource, we recommend doing this to ensure they are set up properly.


Feel free to post an update.


Take care!
