These are the minimum requirements to reset the ScreenTime passcode:

  • The device must run iOS/iPadOS 13.4 or later;
  • You must know the Apple ID & Password that were used to set up that ScreenTime Passcode;
  • If you are part (member) of Family Sharing, ask the Organizer.

If you meet ALL above requirements, these are the instructions:--> If you forgot your Screen Time passcode – Apple Support


Shouldn't be this case, you need to erase that device following these instructions (even if related to the passcode to lock/unlock device's screen):--> If you forgot the passcode on your iPhone, or your iPhone is disabled - Apple Support

The bad news is that you cannot restore data from a backup, since the ScreenTime passcode would come back in.

You have to wait until the waiting time is over.

Then try again.

To unlock your iPhone, follow the steps described in the Apple article:

(< iOS 15.2) ->: If you forgot your iPhone passcode

If you forgot your iPhone passcode - Apple Support

 

(iOS 15.2 or iPadOS 15.2 and newer) If you see an iPhone or iPad unavailable message or Security Lockout screen

If you see an iPhone or iPad unavailable message or Security Lockout screen - Apple Support
