How do I reset my iPad Screen Time passcode?

I have lost my screen time passcode. I tried to reset using apple support directions but it won’t reset. It won’t even let me sign out at that level.

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.

If you have forgotten the ScreenTime passcode, one of the two procedures outlined within this link should resolve the problem:

If you forgot your Screen Time passcode - Apple Support


If your iPad is capable of supporting iPadOS 13.x or later, you should update to the most current version before attempting to resolve a forgotten ScreenTime passcode. The most recent iPadOS updates have introduced a new mechanism whereby a forgotten ScreenTime passcode can be reset without wiping the iPad.


To reset a forgotten ScreenTime passcode on older versions of iOS/iPadOS, the iPad must be reset “as new”, losing all locally stored data. In this situation, you’ll not be able to restore your data from an iCloud or iTunes backup - as the forgotten passcode is integral to the backup.


I hope this information is helpful to you in successfully resetting your forgotten passcode.
