Restrictions/Screen time password

I put restrictions on my phone 3 years ago just to test it out, but i forgot my screen time/restrictions password. The problem is, a few years ago there wasn’t an option to reset it if you forgot your restrictions password. And nowadays there is, but it doesn’t give me the option to on my phone.

I have an Iphone 6s using IOS 13. This is what it looks like


Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Worst case you can restore your phone via recovery mode.


If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support


And not set it up with a backup(the backup will have the restriction code imbedded)


You can sync a lot of your data directly in iCloud, that will come back when you sign in to your apple ID.


I would not advise doing this without trying:

If you forgot your Screen Time passcode - Apple Support

AND contacting apple and ask if they have a solution other than this.

Contact Apple for support and service - Apple Support


Good luck!
