Hello and welcome to Apple Support Communities, George!

I understand you're unable to access the Screen Time settings due to being asked for an unknown passcode. I'd be happy to provide information that may lead you in the right direction.

If you previously had restrictions set on your device, try the passcode for restrictions. If you've forgotten that passcode, try these steps: Use parental controls on your child's iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch

Make sure to choose a passcode that's different from the passcode you use to unlock your device. If you can't remember a restrictions passcode that you set on a previous version of iOS, or you forgot your Screen Time passcode, you need to erase your device, then set it up as a new device to remove the passcode. Restoring your device from a backup won't remove your passcode.


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a great day!
