Forgot screentime passcode

Hello all, I set up screen time on my iPhone to tell me when to get off, and to restrict in app purchases, unfortunately, I forgot the passcode, and then I updated my MacBook, and now it has screen time too, with the same stupid passcode I forgot. Ive tried several different decription and programs that go through an encrypted back up for it, but they all hate me and won't tell me what my passcode is. Please help, I don't want to half to reset my phone.

Info......Use Screen Time on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support


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.
