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!
I forgot my screen time password
I also forgot screen time passcode, but I got screen time passcode back finally, my iOS version is iOS 11.
I can't remember screen time password.
can you help me please?
The question has already been answered multiple times in this thread.
Try reading the thread before posting a 'me too'.
Is screen time restrictions necessary on my personal phone? If I turn it off will that create issues?
I dont think , ever set the restriction code. If i did, then don’t remember the Passcode. What i explore on the internet only one solution. Take the backup and then reset the phone. :( so sad. Hopefully there is another way to recover the passcode.
When I upgraded to iOS 12 it automatically turned on screentime and chose a passcode for screentime for me without my knowledge. Just as a guess, it tried using the first 4 digits of my 6 digit iPhone unlock code. It worked! I was able to turn off screentime. Phone call to apple support was unaware of this possible fix.
I forget my screen passcode too. I followed this ****
Basically I'd to encrypted my Ipad (iphone is the same) backup on itunes (it took some time, so I waited). Then I run the downloaded app (terminal-like app) called pinfinder (freeware kind of app, I think). And the app showed me the passcode. That was all. It works!

Here is the solution:
do not forget to backup (encrypted) your phone with iTunes before using this file.
And it is Free!
I can only speak to if you have not originally set up the device. I am assuming if you reset it to original you will lose data.
