When you set the Screen Time Passcode, you are asked to enter an Apple Account/Password that would be used in case you forget the Passcode. If you choose Skip on that step, then a warning comes up once again saying you will not be able to reset Screen Time Passcode without entering an Apple Account/Password. That is your last chance to enter a recovery method and without it, you will not be given the option to reset your Screen Time Passcode because you have not provided one. I would recommend to contact Apple directly here and there may be data loss. Any current backup would contain the Screen Time restriction, so restoring would not reset that Passcode.
