Reset Screen Time Passcode

I can NOT remember the screen time passcode for my child's phone. It does NOT give me the option to choose "forgot passcode". How do you reset the passcode without resetting the whole phone?

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 14

If you do not see the option for Forgot Passcode as provided in this support document, If you forgot your Screen Time passcode - Apple Support your only option at that point is to restore the device to remove the passcode. You will have to set it up as new, since a backup would contain the passcode and you would be right back where you started.
