forgotten passcode

Hi,

How can I turn off the Screen Time restrictions on an old iPad mini 3 V12.5.3 if I have forgotten the 4 digit passcode?


Thanks

Try performing a factory reset using a computer: Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support.

Hi Jack,

Unfortunately that is for iOS 13 or later, very easy but I have an old iPad mini 3 and I only go up to V12.5.3 and that version does not have the forgot password option.


I looked at a factory reset but the screen time passcode pops up and will not allow me to advance without it.


I'm logged in with my Apple ID, can I force an format from iCloud?


Thanks

Mike
