So I turned on screen time a few months ago on my iPhone 7, and did NOT set a password, but then about a month after it asked me for a password that I never put in, and there is no option for “Forgot Password” so I have no idea what to do. After 6 months I still have not been able to fix it, and it’s becoming a problem because I cannot clear my cache, or do a factory reset. Does anyone know how to fix this?
If you have forgotten your Screen Time passcode. There are two options.
If you are unable to reset the Screen Time passcode from this-> link then, you will need a computer for option 2. If you don't have one, borrow one from a friend.
If you have chosen option 2 then regarding your data, If…
You have an iCloud or iTunes backup, I am sorry there is no use of a backup because if you restore from your backup your Screen Time Passcode will be back.
If you have not imported nor you have synced or uploaded your data to cloud drives prior to forgetting the Screen Time passcode then I am sorry, all your data is lost.

Sorry, but months into trying to solve screen time issues, there is only one question left: what **** show is Apple running, never seen such a long-term deficient SW product!
