screentime password reset on minors phone

I set the parent screen time password on my child's iPhone 12 and can not remember the 4-digit password. How do you reset the parent control screen time password?

iPhone 12, iOS 16

Hello J-nine-74,


Once a screen time passcode is forgotten, then you'll need to follow the steps at If you forgot your Screen Time passcode - Apple Support. Per that article:


On an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
1. Go to Settings > Screen Time. 
2. Tap Change Screen Time Passcode, then tap Change Screen Time Passcode again.
3. Tap Forgot Passcode?
4. Enter the Apple ID and password* that you used to set up the Screen Time passcode.
5. Enter a new Screen Time passcode, then enter it again to confirm.


Cheers!
