I forgot my Screen Time passcode how do I reset it?

My AppleId is greyed out - thus when I go to Settings - Screen time - and want to click on Content and Privacy restrictions - Account Changes - it is set to - Don't Allow - when I click it asks for a 4 code pin - I cant recall such a pin - how do I reset this pin?
