Start here→If you forgot your Screen Time passcode - Apple Support

or watch this companion video↓


If that doesn’t work you will have to restore the phone to factory settings→Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support. But don’t restore a backup, because the backup contains the Screen Time passcode.
