Change screen time password

I am trying to change my screen time passcode but it does not give the option to change it (no “forgot password?” link). I think this is because I have too many failed attempts. I need my screen time passcode to reset this phone. Please help

iPhone 13 mini, iOS 15

If you can't remember a restrictions passcode that you set on a previous version of iOS, or you forgot your Screen Time passcode, then you need to erase your device, then set it up as a new device to ➔How to remove the passcode. Restoring your device from a backup won't remove your passcode UNLESS your backup was created BEFORE the screen time passcode was created.
