You’ll have to perform a reset of your phone.
You’ll need your phone, a computer, a cable, and your AppleID credentials.
Then proceed as follows:

Sorry for not being specific in the question but I don’t know what the person who set up the screentime ICloud or password is. I tried logging into Screentime using my own iCloud but it still doesn’t work. I have 8 attempts of entering the password and it makes me wait long times. I don’t know what to do.
So, I'm confused. Who is this "person" who set up your phone? Was this phone set up with someone else's Apple ID? If you don't know the Apple ID and Apple ID password used to set up this phone, you have no chance of resetting it.
I set up my phone using my own Apple ID. Someone from my family set up my screentime for me. I tried resetting the passcode by clicking forgot passcode. It makes me type in my Apple ID credentials but whenever I do, it just locks me out. I don’t know how to fix it and I can’t reset my entire phone without knowing my screentime passcode.
