Hi rhemas,


We understand you're having an issue with resetting the Screen Time password, and have gone through the steps here: If you forgot your Screen Time passcode - Apple Support


If nothing in that article helped, the only option to remove the passcode then is to restore the device using recovery mode as described here: If you forgot the passcode on your iPhone, or your iPhone is disabled - Apple Support


Restore the data from any backup made before the Screen Time passcode was enabled.


Take care.
