You forgot your Screen Time passcode?


If using IOS 13.4 or later or Catalina 10.15.4 or later, see the Apple Support article(s) below. Link to contact Apple Support at the end of the article.

If necessary,  you will need to restore the device to factory settings. Do not restore from a backup made when the Screen Time code was active.

See this Apple article: If you forgot your iPhone passcode

BTW: 

Check iPhone type & iOS version -> Go to: Settings -> General -> About.

If it is an iPhone 6 -> iOS 12.5.5 is the last security updates for iPhone 6, -> released 23 september 2021.

If the iPhone is still on iOS 11, update to iOS 12.5.5 

Go to: Settings -> General -> Software Update.
