If you forget your 4 digit Screen Time Passcode


4 Digit Passcode is for Screen Time Restrictions

4/66 Digit Passcode is for iPhone lock screen


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.
