Who replaced the screen? If it was Apple take it back. If it was anyone else something was damaged in the process of replacing the screen. You can try this. See this Apple support link→If you forgot the passcode on your iPhone, or your iPhone is disabled - Apple Support

Hello ~ Give this a try:


Open iTunes on your computer then you can connect your iPhone to computer with USB cable. Hold both Home and Power buttons on iPhone until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. This usually takes about 20 seconds of holding both buttons. Then restore the iPhone per :

Hold It Right There!:

Enter this incorrectly too many times, and you'd likely be locked out for good. So, hold it right there, and refer to this link: If you Forgot your Screen Time Passcode - Apple Support



Contact the Service:

Whomever worked on it probably entered the passcode incorrectly too many times. So, contact them, and have them fix this. They should have known better.
