Cannot reset screen time passcode

When attempting to change my forgotten screen time passcode by clicking on the “forgot your passcode” option. I then put in my correct Apple ID and passcode it does not reset.


I’ve tried this several times and I get a screen that says: “change screen time passcode” but I am unable to change it.

I attempt to put in a new passcode but am unable, under that form is the “14 failed attempts” & “try again in 60 minutes”

any suggestions?

See the Apple Support article(s) below. 


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.
