See if Apple support's online article can help: If you forgot your Screen Time passcode - Apple Support

ie: You can scroll to: Reset the Screen Time passcode for your personal device

or

Reset the Screen Time passcode for your child’s device

Also:

_______________________________________

"If you can’t reset your Screen Time passcode, make sure that you’re using the same Apple Account email address and password that you used when setting up the Screen Time passcode. This may be a different Apple Account than the one that you’re signed in to on your device. If you’re part of a Family Sharing group, it may be a family member’s Apple Account or your child’s Apple Account."

If above hasn't helped: You may want to check whether you are using the newest iOS version:

About iOS 18 Updates - Apple Support ie: says iOS 18.2 is the newest version


If needed: Go to Settings > General > Software Updates to see if there's an update to install ... Also it is wise to back-up your iPhone data first, if you choose to update your iOS
