can not reset screen time passcode

Hi,


i have been "googleing" this already. I tried to reset my screen time code, but it wont let me!

I press on "i forgot" and type in my apple id and password. For the first time i actually could type in a new code. But after that the iphone ignored my newly set code and i no longer can get into the "type in new code" thing. it just straight up says WRONG CODE.


i hope anybody can help me. And no, i dont want to restore my phone.


greetings,


Flo

iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 15

Regarding your data, If…

  1. You have an iCloud or iTunes backup, I am sorry there is no use of a backup because if you restore from your backup your Screen Time Passcode will be back. 
  2. You have synced your data to iCloud, then what you will get back is what you have synced to iCloud and uploaded to iCloud Drive; like the information that are synced and stored in iCloud are, Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks, Mail, Notes, Voice Memosshared photosiCloud Photos*, Health data, call history, and files you store in iCloud Drive. (*-If you had turned on iCloud Photos, your content is automatically stored in iCloud.)
  3. You have imported your Photos & Videos to Mac/PC then they are safely residing there
  4. You have uploaded some of it Cloud Drives using Files app (iCloud Drive, Google Drive, OneDrive, DropBox, Flickr, box, AmazonDrive, Adobe Creative Cloud etc)
  5. You have not imported nor you have synced nor uploaded your data to cloud drives prior to forgetting the Screen Time passcode then I am sorry, all your data is lost.
