My daughter changed her screen lock code and won't let me unlock it. How do I get in?

My wife and I watch and review what our kids are doing on their devices. We let them have a screen lock as long as both of us have the password too.


Daughter went rogue yesterday, changed her password and refusing to let us unlock it to review what she's doing. We took the ipad off of her but I still want to unlock without resetting it. How do I change the screen lock???


Her profile is setup as a child in my family but I don't see a way to do it.

iPad Pro 11-inch Wi-Fi

Hello and welcome to Apple Support Communities, meetbalips!


We understand you're trying to review your daughter's activity on her iPhone, but she won't allow you access to the iPhone. We'd be happy to provide information about what can be done.


Even with having your daughter set in Family Sharing, it is not possible to change the passcode on your end. The only way to reset the passcode would be to wipe the iPhone completely:

If you've forgotten the passcode on your iPhone, or your iPhone is disabled


I hope this clears things up.

Have a great day!
