Screen Time Passcode Not Working

I tried to turn off screen time on my own device, and it kept saying I put in the wrong passcode, but I'm sure it is right. Then I clicked "Forgot Passcode?" and put in the correct Apple ID and password, but it is not working and just adds another failed attempt. I have tried to change my screen time passcode 17 times now. I am sure that I put in the correct information.

iPad Air 2, iPadOS 13

See if anything here helps.


Screen Time passcode reset


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


Restore to Factory setting.
