If you have forgotten the Screen Time passcode for your child's device, you can follow the steps below.
How to reset the Screen Time passcode for your child's device
If you’re using Family Sharing to manage a child’s account, the family organizer needs to reset the passcode on their device.
On an iPhone or iPad
1. On the family organizer's device, go to Settings > Screen Time.
2. Scroll down and choose a child’s name under Family.
3. Tap Change Screen Time Passcode, then tap Change Screen Time Passcode again. Then authenticate with Face ID, Touch ID, or your device passcode.
4. Enter a new Screen Time passcode, then enter it again to confirm.
The steps above are found in If you forgot your Screen Time passcode - Apple Support. If you still need help after giving those steps a try, click on the articles link to find more things you can try.
Take care!
