If you are the admin, the admin password would generally be the log-in you use to log-in to your Mac.

If you forgot the password to log in to your Mac user account

or

If you set-up ScreenTime for a family member, and forgot that ScreenTime password, you can change it.

If you forgot your Screen Time passcode - Apple Support

More info. if you use "Family Sharing": Set up Family Sharing on Mac - Apple Support


All the best :-)
