Here is Apple’s support document for resetting a forgotten ScreenTime (a.ka. restrictions) passcode:

If you are running a recent version of iPadOS13, it is now possible to reset a forgotten ScreenTime passcode using your AppleID. If running an earlier version of iOS, recovery entails reset to an “as new” state - without the option to recover data from backup (the backup contains an encrypted copy of the forgotten passcode).
