Forgotten passcode for family sharing

I have forgotten my passcode for family sharing so I can’t adjust my child’s screen time or any permissions. I am now on failed attempt 8 to remember it. Is there a way to reset it?

iPhone SE, iOS 12

From the article below.


 To change or turn off the passcode on your child's device, tap Settings > Screen Time > [your child's name]. Then tap Change Screen Time Passcode or Turn Off Screen Time Passcode, and authenticate the change with Face ID, Touch ID, or your device passcode.


Parental controls


If that won't work, you will need to restore the device to factory settings. Do not restore from a backup made when the Screen Time code was active.
