iPhone screentime reset

I lost my Screen Time password 12 months ago, and when trying to reset it using the Apple ID function, it doesn't work since I changed my Apple ID password since setting the password up. Instead, it offers to reset my Apple ID password. What should I do?

Screen time password reset I have used screen time for my iPad, but I did not use an Apple ID because when I typed the correct password it would just tell me it was wrong (This is the same password I used to login here), so I just skipped the Apple ID part, now what can I do to reset my password?

See the Apple Support article(s) below.

Screen Time passcode reset

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

Restore to Factory setting.
