If you have forgotten the Screen Time passcode and you do not see a link to reset it, the only way for you to remove that passcode is to use a computer as SravanKrA has stated and you must restore your iPhone to remove it. You cannot restore a backup, as the backup contains that passcode and you would only put it right back on the phone. You will have to set the iPhone up as new.
