If I use screen time to block website can I reset the passcode with my own Apple ID?

I am trying to block a single Gaming website on my iPhone and iPad, through Safari. I know that I can do that with screen time, and I know that I can set a passcode for screen time. If I go that route, and have someone else set the passcode for me, can I use my own Apple ID to Reset the passcode? If so, is there anyway to make it so that is not an option for me? Thank you for any help.

When you set the Screen Time Passcode, you have the option to use your Apple ID Password in case you forget the Passcode you set. That is the only time you are given that option and it is highly recommended you do that, otherwise if you forget the Screen Time Passcode, it is not easy to reset. For obvious reasons if it was easy to reset every child would do it to avoid parental controls.
