These are the minimum requirements to reset the ScreenTime passcode:
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.

Troubleshooting a Locked iPhone:
Hold it Right There!
Being Locked Out...
Enter the passcode incorrectly too many times, and you'd likely be locked out for good. So, hold it right there, and refer to this link: If you Forgot the Passcode on your iPhone, or your iPhone is Disabled - Apple Support. It would be the one you've always entered. If you do not know it, then look for it in a location you may have stored it in.
No Success?
Contact Apple support:
If you cannot get the above link to work, then contact Apple Support.

If you are unable to reset your Screen Time passcode using these steps, you may need to erase your device and set it up as new. This will erase all data on your device, so be sure to back up any important information before proceeding.
To erase your device and set it up as new, follow these steps:
It doesn’t have an option for phones like the IPhone 12 Pro Max. What do I do then?

You might be able do so that way, but if you are locked, you need to contact Apple Support.
