My child’s lock won’t turn off

anytime I try turning off my child’s Screen Time passcode. It doesn’t give me the option to forget or to do anything. I want to turn off his restrictions. I do not have any restrictions on him, but I can’t disable his passcode for Screen Time. This results in him not being able to restart his phone and log out of his account

iPhone 12, iOS 26

Does this Not do the Trick?:

  1. Click: Change Screen Time Passcode
  2. Tap: Turn Off Screen Time Passcode
  3. Enter: [your Screen Time Passcode]
