Screen Time as in restrictions or the passcode to get into the phone?


Passcode for phone.


Passcode - If you forgot the passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled


Screen Time password. From the article below.


If you can't remember a restrictions passcode that you created on a previous version of iOS, or you forgot your Screen Time passcode, you need to erase your device, then set it up as new to remove the passcode. Restoring your device won't remove your old passcode.


Parental controls


You will need to restore the device to factory settings. Do not restore from a backup made when the Screen Time code was active.
