how to reset screen time passcode for forgot passcode

I don't recall ever setting a passcode for Screen Time therefore the system is locked.

After following the instructions on reset for forgot passcode for screen time the process just ends with no action is taken.

Also, following the instructions for turn off screen time this does not work as well.

What's the remedy to correct this?

I backed up on iTunes then restored the phone with the backup data. Once the process completed it worked. Some how the prior software updates created a passcode for screen time, I never set a screen time passcode. Absolutely no reason for me to set a screen time passcode. Thanks for your input.
