how do i bypass screen time passcode?

We gave our son a new phone. In trying to erase all the content and factory reset on the old phone it is asking for a 4 digit screen time passcode. I've tried every possibility we'd use and can't figure it out. How do we bypass this or factory reset the phone so we can sell it?

iPhone 7, iOS 14
