If your iPhone is running iOS 13.4 or later AND you know the Apple ID & Password used to create that screentime passcode, these are the instructions:--> If you forgot your Screen Time passcode – Apple Support

If it doesn't work, you are not meeting one (or both) of the the minimum requirements.


In such a situation, your only option is to erase your iPhone content, using these instructions:--> If you forgot the passcode on your iPhone, or your iPhone is disabled - Apple Support (even if referred to a different passcode).

But the bad news is that you CANNOT restore data from a backup, since that passcode would come back into your device.
