I cannot clear screen time passcode on my Macbook Pro

I tried forgot passcode, forgot Apple ID and password, reinstalled macOS Big Sur, hard reset my computer to factory settings, but when I login using my Apple ID, the screen time turns on and my computer becomes unusable. Some time ago, I had set screen time on my child's iPad that was using my Apple ID. It's come to haunt me now with no way to get rid of it and I don't remember the passcode. HELP!!

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 11.4

You need to ge your child there own Apple ID so things like this won't happen.


Screen Time passcode reset


If necessary,  you will need to restore the device to factory settings. Do not restore from a backup made when the Screen Time code was active.


Restore to Factory setting.
