My date and time says I can’t set my time due to restrictions

If you’ve forgotten your Screen Time Password, you’ll need to follow these instructions: If you forgot your Screen Time passcode - Apple Support (HK)

An MDM stands for Mobile Device Management which is a feature that allows schools to manage their devices in a more powerful way, the way to check if you have an MDM installed on your device is to go to Settings > VPN and Device Management, if it just says sign into school or work account and VPN then you do not have a MDM on your device. But more likely, it is because of Screen Time Enabled. To disable this go to Settings > Screen Time then scroll to the bottom and click Turn Off Screen Time, and then enter your Screen time Password if you have one

MDM is Mobile Device Management; it typically means that a school or business can control the security settings on your phone. Your phone may be under MDM if you have a business or school email account on your phone.

The other possible (and more likely) reason is Screen Time is turned on. This blocks changing the time settings, as being able to do so would make it possible to get around Screen Time restrictions.

Hello elorm289,

there are two main reasons for this:

1. You may have screen time enabled and this could affect it and
2. You might have an MDM on your device that restricts this

That should fix it,

Thank You
