Reset screen time passcode

My kids iPad screen time passcode was forgotten and it’s not being shared across devices. I want to reset it but I can’t!


I believe the Apple ID is different from the one he has one (an old Apple ID) and that’s why it doesn’t appear as a device I can control.


And the option Forgot your passcode? Doesn’t appear.


I don’t want to try 9999 times to guess the passcode. I did 300 tries and got bored.

Any other solutions?

If the iPad is older, or not at least running iPadOS 13.4 or higher, you will have to use a computer and fully erase the iPad, following the directions in this link --> If you forgot your Screen Time passcode - Apple Support
