Forgot my screen time password

I forgot my screen time password and am trying to reset my phone. It won’t let me reset it without that password. Does anyone know anything else I can try to do?

If you forget your 4 digit Screen Time Passcode


4 Digit Passcode is for Screen Time Restrictions

6 Digit Passcode is for iPhone lock screen


Make sure to choose a passcode that's different from the passcode you use to unlock your device. If you can't remember a restrictions passcode that you set on a previous version of iOS, or you forgot your Screen Time passcode, you need to erase your device, then set it up as a new device to remove the passcode. Restoring your device from a backup won't remove your passcode.
