How can I reset my screen time passcode without my Apple ID? I didn’t use my Apple ID as a recovery option because I knew the passcode. Now my iPad thinks I don’t know the code and I really needed to allow use of an app during downtime.

I understand that, however I didn’t use my Apple ID as a recovery method. So when I go to “change passcode” it doesn’t even offer the “forgot passcode option. In the end, I factory reset the whole iPad and had to down load everything again just to remove the screen time passcode.
