I have forgotten my iPod Touch passcode

My son has a iPod and I set up Screen time on it to limit his use of his iPod. But I don’t know how to get back into it because I have forgotten my passcode. Please help as I want to add a restriction that isn’t added yet.

"How to reset the Screen Time passcode for your child's device

If you’re using Family Sharing to manage a child’s account, passcode reset options won’t be available on their device. Use the following steps on the family organizer's device to reset the Screen Time passcode for your child.

On an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

  1. On the family organizer's device, go to Settings > Screen Time.
  2. Scroll down and choose a child’s name under Family. 
  3. Tap Change Screen Time Passcode, then tap Change Screen Time Passcode again. You might be asked to authenticate with Face ID, Touch ID, or your device passcode.
  4. Enter a new Screen Time passcode, then enter it again to confirm."
