I have to erase all my data on my old phone before I can send it away to trade in. It won’t let me erase data without the screen time passcode. I don’t remember the passcode. I have tried to change it using my Apple ID but when I enter my Apple ID details to reset the passcode nothing happens ?
You have an iCloud or iTunes backup, I am sorry there is no use of a backup because if you restore from your backup your Screen Time Passcode will be back.
You have not imported nor you have synced nor uploaded your data to cloud drives prior to forgetting the Screen Time passcode then I am sorry, all your data is lost.

I have followed these steps. But once I enter my Apple ID details to reset the passcode nothing happens and the screen goes back to “enter screen time passcode”. It does not give me the option to enter a new passcode
