Parental controls

I have controls on my daughters iphone which I use a four digit pin to access. She can change the pin by saying I've forgotten it and using her apple id to change it. I have raised my own apple id on my computer. Can I use that on her iphone so that she can't change the pin?

It would appear that you should be able to use Parental Controls - specifically “Allow changes to other settings and features” - to restrict passcode changes.

Use screen time for parental control instead

Use Screen Time on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch – Apple Support (UK)

If you're using Family Sharing to manage a child account

  1. Go to Settings and tap Screen Time.
  2. Scroll down and choose your child's name under Family. 
  3. Tap Turn on Screen Time, then tap Continue. 
  4. Set up DowntimeApp Limits and Content & Privacy with the limits you want for your child, or tap Not Now. 
  5. Tap Use Screen Time Passcode, then enter a passcode when prompted. Re-enter the passcode to confirm. 
  6. Enter your Apple ID and password. This can be used to reset your Screen Time passcode if you forget it.
