See this on how to turn off your Childs screen time passcode


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, open the Settings app, then tap 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.

If you have Share Across Devices turned on, your new Screen Time passcode will automatically update on those devices after you reset it.
