Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities.

We understand you lost your Screen Time passcode. You can reset it from iPhone.

On your iPhone or iPad

2. Tap Change Screen Time Passcode, then tap Change Screen Time Passcode again.

3. Tap Forgot Passcode?

5. Enter the Apple ID and password that you used to set up the Screen Time passcode. Forgot your Apple ID password?

6. Enter a new Screen Time passcode, then enter it again to confirm.

If you forgot your Screen Time passcode - Apple Support

Regards.
