I have turned off Screen Time on my phone and on my phone for my daughter's phone. My daughter's phone is asking for a screen time password. We keep getting locked out because we cannot seem to remember the screen time password for her phone. I even reset the screen time password on my phone and clicked on turn of screen time on my daughter's phone but once again they ask for a 4-digit password.
iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 14
I forgot my Screen Time passcode
If you used your Apple ID when setting it as requested then you can do this
If you forgot your Screen Time passcode - Apple Support
If you failed to do that or chose not to then you must wipe the phone in recovery mode and start again with a blank phone.
You can export as much data as you can to iCloud, turn on iCloud Photos etc before wiping it so you can get it back, but you cannot restore a backup as that will be locked too.
Recovery mode or DFU

Apps like Whatsapp allow you to back chats up to iCloud first but in many cases all chat history will be lost
