Hi remember_me_live,
The article If you forgot your Screen Time passcode outlines the available steps for resetting that passcode on an iPhone:
- "Go to Settings > Screen Time.
- Tap Change Screen Time Passcode, then tap Change Screen Time Passcode again.
- Tap Forgot Passcode?
- Enter the Apple ID and password* that you used to set up the Screen Time passcode.
- Enter a new Screen Time passcode, then enter it again to confirm."
Please also note the following per Use parental controls on your child's iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch:
"If you forgot your Screen Time passcode, update your device to the latest iOS or iPadOS then reset your passcode. If you can’t update your device, erase it and set it up as new to remove the passcode and choose a new one. Restoring your device from a backup won't remove your passcode."
Regards.
