If you have a device which can run iOS 13.4 or higher, you can reset the Screen Time passcode per the directions in this link --> If you forgot your Screen Time passcode - Apple Support. If you have a device which is older and cannot run anything higher than iOS 12.5.3, which would be iPhone 6 or older, you'll have to erase the phone using your home computer with iTunes following the directions in this link for a forgotten passcode --> If you forgot the passcode on your iPhone, or your iPhone is disabled - Apple Support


If you have to follow the "If you forgot the passcode on your iPhone......." once you have erased the phone, you cannot restore from backup as the Screen Time Passcode is in the backup and restoring it from backup will put you right back where you are.
