Why can’t I reset or turn off my screen time passcode? I have an iphone X and I tried to change the passcode and then turn it off. But whatever I do it doesn’t seem to respond and just shows “failed attempt.”
iPhone X, 15
These are the minimum requirements to reset the ScreenTime passcode:
AND
If you meet both above requirements, these are the instructions:--> If you forgot your Screen Time passcode – Apple Support
Shouldn't be this case, you need to erase that device following these instructions (even if related to the passcode to lock/unlock device's screen):--> If you forgot the passcode on your iPhone, or your iPhone is disabled - Apple Support
The bad news is that you cannot restore data from a backup, since the ScreenTime passcode would come back in.

Hi Giulio,
I meet both above requirements. Yet it's not working. After I tried to change my screen time passcode and used my apple id and password, it returned me to the failed attempt screen. And now I have had 7 attempts. So I don't want to get blocked out of my phone. And all I am trying to do is to set up my Apple carplay on. Can I do it without getting into Screen time? Carplay doesn't show in my general settings.
Thanks
Asya
If Carplay option is not in Settings>General... it's not an "allowed" app, in Screentime>Content&Privacy restrictions>Allowed Apps.
That said, are you sure that you're using the Apple ID&Password that were used to set up the existing screentime passcode?
Shouldn't be this case, you're not meeting both requirements.
Regards
Giulio
