I used 1234 as recommended by another user. I didn’t recall ever setting a PIN for restrictions and now it seems it was set during an up date. I would suggest before resetting phone try the default 1234. Work for me

Oh no.......If only in 56 pages of posts someone, somehow managed to figure this out..........


Instead of wasting your time to post your statement, you could have read just ONE post below the very post you replied to where you would have found the answer and that post is repeated on every single page of this 56 pages.


You should take your time to read it.

I know........if you took even 10 seconds of YOUR TIME to look immediately below the very thread you replied to or at the top of EVERY page of posts is the APPLE RECOMMENDED solution.

There's your answer, it was already there for you to see.

What is my device restriction password

Nobody can tell you that. Only you know it, because you had to set it.


If yo don't t remember it, then follow the steps in the support document provided hundreds of times already in the very thread you replied to, including the Apple recommended post at the top of every page, to reset it.

what should I do.

I was not replying to you.


Nobody is trying to access your account. Please do not accuse people of such things. jacq1432, Oryano, Augustine217 and Goober4585 are just posting in the same thread you did to get help like you did. And I'm just trying to help them. I am not trying to access your account.


You posted in a public forum, in a public thread where anyone can post and get an answer. Once you posted you got subscribed to the thread and are getting notifications when somebody else posts in it. That's the way forums work.


If you no longer wish to get these notifications then log in to the forum and click on the "Following" button at the top of the thread to stop following it so you stop getting the notifications.

I finally figured out how to fix this without resetting your phone!!! Go to Settings>General >Date & Time>Then change the time an hour ahead or whatever time frame it gave you to try again. Then go to Settings>Screen Time>Select Family Member>Change Screen Time Passcode. Create a new Passcode. Once you create one, you can either keep it on or turn it off.
