Forgot kids screen time password

I forgot what my child’s screentime password is and despite removing it still requires the password. Anyway to clear and set a new screen time?

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.
