Reseting Screen Time Password

I forgot the screen time password years ago before IOS 13. My iPhone is now on iOS 14 and I have tried using the forgot password on the Screen Time Password to attempt to reset it. It has me enter my Apple ID and once I do it just goes back to trying to have me enter in the old Screen Time Password. How can I reset the password?

Screen time password I have bought a new iPhone and trying to factory reset the old one. However, I don’t know the screen time password! I have reset the password and tried to put the new one in, but that’s now not working. It’s now given me 24 hours until I can try again! Any chance there is a way to factory reset by not using the screen time password?

Screen time password reset I have used screen time for my iPad, but I did not use an Apple ID because when I typed the correct password it would just tell me it was wrong (This is the same password I used to login here), so I just skipped the Apple ID part, now what can I do to reset my password?

The only option for you is to restore the phone to factory settings and do not restore a backup.
