Screentime Passcode change

I've forgotten my screentime passcode but I am unable to change my passcode because my phone keeps thinking I've entered the wrong apple ID/password but I am 100% sure that I've entered the correct information. Now I'm locked out for an hour after 10 attempts and I'm furious because I cannot do anything until the time lock is over. Even if I'm able to do anything again, I won't be able to change my passcode because SOMEHOW I'll have entered the wrong apple ID details again!


Can I work around this at all without having to use a third party app to do it?

No 3rd party app is going to help, you will need to do this If you forgot the passcode on your iPhone, or your iPhone is disabled - Apple Support
