I don’t have access to reset my passcode anymore

The option is no longer available and I can’t change my passcode which others know

Ok. You go to: Settings > Face ID & Passcode. Now, you don’t see the option to “Change Passcode?” Am I correct?



You don’t see this option circled in green?


Or is Face ID & Passcode missing from the list in settings?


If so, try this:


Go to: Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > (scroll down) > Passcode Changes > (tap “Allow”)


Please let me know if this enables you to change the passcode again. Thank you!
