As far as i have found to be successful is 1) log into “find my iphone” on the same device having issues
2) locate your device
3) erase device
4) download any one of your backups

screen time password does not carry over

That shouldn't work and goes again Apple's advice as per this article.


Use Screen Time to prevent purchasing on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support


This is the relevant section.



You could try a third party password recovery tool as suggested earlier but you will be putting a lot of trust in someone else's software and giving it access to all your "sensitive" BackUp data, although they do say nothing is actually transmitted!
