screentime passcode forgotten

Hi, in a moment of red rage I changed the screentime passcode for my sons iPhone . Now that the rage has subsided, rage about all the workarounds he has managed to find to bypass all screentime restrictions, I can not remember the passcode. duh. So he has his workaround and I have not more access. duh.


I can not reset his to factory settings with out this passcode.


What now ? Any Ideas ?


thanks

Sarah

Have you tried Face ID? 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.
