Hey there Ilovemonsterdrinks22,


We understand restrictions are enabled on your device, preventing you from using AirDrop. You will not be able to use AirDrop unless it is turned on in Allowed Apps, found in Settings > Screen Time.


"If you forgot your Screen Time passcode, update your device to the latest iOS or iPadOS then reset your passcode. If you can’t update your device, erase it and set it up as new to remove the passcode and choose a new one. Restoring your device from a backup won't remove your passcode."


As discussed here: Use parental controls on your child's iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch


Cheers!
