Prevent child disabling screen time by changing password My son has recently discovered that he can reset his apple id password from his iPad with no further verification steps (no email confirmation, no text confirmation, not even typing in the old password). This makes the whole of Screen Time a complete chocolate teapot (i.e. useless), presumably this makes any and all safety measure on the device moot? Is this correct or is there someway to stop this happening?

Impossible to reset passcode for screen time. My screen time passcode is unable to be removed, my screen time passcode was set a couple of years back but now neither my parents nor I know what the password is and they don’t know what their passwords are for their apple accounts. And when trying to reset their accounts we keep getting the not enough information thing. And I can’t factory reset completely because I have important stuff on this device.
