My daughter figured out the Parental Control Password

Hi,

I need to change the Parental Control Password on my daughter’s iPad. I set a new password and it keeps going back to the previous one?

Hello LizLicea,


We would like to see how we can help you with updating your parental controls password. We would suggest creating a new password you have never used before in case she has guessed the new one. We also suggest turning off the Passcode Changes feature with the steps in this link: Use parental controls on your child's iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support


"Allow changes to other settings and features

You can allow changes to other settings and features, the same way you can allow changes to privacy settings.

  1. Go to Settings and tap Screen Time.
  2. Tap Content & Privacy Restrictions. If asked, enter your passcode.
  3. Under Allow Changes, select the features or settings that you want to allow changes to and choose Allow or Don't Allow. 

Here are some features and settings that you can allow changes for:

  • Passcode Changes: Prevent changes to your passcode
  • Account Changes: Prevent account changes in Accounts & Passwords
  • Cellular Data Changes: Prevent changes to cellular data settings
  • Reduce Loud Sounds: Prevent changes to volume settings for safe listening 
  • Driving Focus: Prevent changes to the Driving Focus
  • TV Provider: Prevent changes to TV provider settings
  • Background App Activities: Prevent changes to whether or not apps run in the background"


Cheers!
