Forgot Screen Time Passcode

I was trying to update my child’s screen time and forgot the passcode. There’s no “forgot passcode” option.

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 16

To Fix this For iPhone and iPad:

  1. Navigate to Settings > Screen Time.
  2. Select Change Screen Time Passcode and tap it again to proceed.
  3. Choose Forgot Passcode? found at the bottom of the screen.
  4. Input the Apple ID and its corresponding password that were initially used to establish the Screen Time passcode. If you have forgotten your Apple ID password, follow the prompts to recover it.
  5. Set a new passcode and confirm it by entering it a second time to complete the process.
