Are there any tips for resetting forgotten screen time passcodes on old phones when new apple id password has been created on new phone?

Hello,

I set up a new iphone and also updated my apple id password. I am unable to reset / change my screen time passcode on my old phone before it return it for a discount. I don’t remember the screen time pass code and I can’t change or reset it with my current or previous apple ID password when prompted. Any help is appreciated.

It says “Apple ID or password is incorrect is incorrect” when using my previous apple ID password. It just says failed passcode attempt when I use my current Apple ID password.

Thanks!
