How you reset a Screen Time passcode depends upon the system version you are using:


If you or a member of your Family Sharing group have a mobile device running iOS or iPad OS 13.4 or later, or a Mac running Catalina 10.15.4 or later, read this support article for instructions on what to do "If you forgot your Screen Time passcode". Click here --> https://support.apple.com/HT211021


If you still have issues resetting your Screen Time passcode, contact Apple Support.

OR


If you are running earlier systems you will have to read this Apple Support document about what to do "If you forgot the passcode on your iPhone, or your iPhone is disabled". Click here then select your device type if necessary --> http://support.apple.com/HT204306 - Also has links for what to do for an iPad or an iPod touch.


This will erase the device. You can restore your device from a backup but the backup has to date from before you set the forgotten passcode or it too will be restored.


On the remote contingency you are asked for your Apple ID and password AND you have forgotten those:
