This is the link to use to erase the iPad via iTunes: If you forgot the passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support
You cannot see OR edit your restrictions passcode. You MUST erase the device to remove it. And you cannot restore from a backup as the restrictions passcode IS contained in the backup. This would put you in a never ending cycle of disappointment.
While this link says for forgotten passcode, it is the same required action for forgotten Screen Time or Restrictions passcode. And this link is from Apple, not a 3rd party. If you called Apple, this is exactly what they would tell you to do.
Follow the steps in the Apple recommended post at the top of the thread you replied to.
If you forgot your Screen Time passcode, update your device to the latest iOS or iPadOS (14) then reset your passcode. If you can’t update your device, erase it and set it up as new to remove the passcode and choose a new one. Restoring your device from a backup won't remove your passcode if tge backup was made after the restrictions passcode was put in place.

Asking for a passcode which I don’t have
A passcode for what? when does it ask for it?
If its a restrictions passcode, see the link provided multiple times already and in the Apple Recommended post at the top of every page of the veey thread you replied to. Here it is again: link-> Use parental controls on your child's iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
If its a screen unlock passcode see here: link-> If you forgot the passcode on your iPad, or your iPad is disabled - Apple Support
Otherwise, explain exactly what is asking for a passcode and when its happening exactly.
You cannot reset a forgotten restriction passcode on iPhone 6. You will need to erase your iPhone using your iPhone with iTunes and this very important, YOU CANNOT RESTORE FROM BACKUP as the restrictions passcode is carried with a backup.
See this link for directions, but once you erase your phone, you can bring things back over like Apps, Messages, etc., via iCloud as long as you sync with iCloud --> If you forgot the passcode on your iPhone, or your iPhone is disabled - Apple Support

We cannot give you your password. Screen Time passcodes are set by you, and only you know them. There is no way for us to give you one.
If you can no longer remember the passcode follow the steps here: click here-> If you forgot your Screen Time passcode - Apple Support

Follow the steps provided multiple times in the veery thread you replied to. Including the Apple Suggested post at the very top, and the post just above your own which has this blue text: link-> If you forgot your Screen Time passcode - Apple Support
On iPhone 6 you will need to restore the iPhone to factory condition to remove the restrictions passcode, there is no way tom reset it.

Nobody here can know your restrictions passcode. It is something you set, only stored in the iPhone, so only you would know it. Nobody else, not even Apple has any way off knowing your restrictions passcode.
