Screen time passcode sync issue between parent iPhone and child iPad on iOS 18
Bought a new iPad 10 for the kid. Thought I would be able to apply parental controls and limit his screen time but while setting up the initial iPad configurations ended up putting a common password.. My kid worked it out and now is able to play his game for 75 mins instead of 20 but requesting exemption. Attempted to fix this and the issue is:
- ON the child ipad under screen time (it thinks I am the child) so no option to change screen time passcode.
- All apple documentation pointed for parent to change child's screen time via their own phone.
- I just did that and the updated screen time password works on my iphone but the ipad still works on old one.
In short password changed outside the child ipad seems to accept the wizard but does not apply on ipad. How to change it? I want to avoid a factory default else he will lose his games access/history.
