I forgot the apple ID I used to setup screen time.

I have a new apple ID now. How do I remove the screen time passcode without knowing the old apple ID?

Because I am assuming you need to know the old apple ID and password to reset it but I'm sure when screen time was brought around I was using the iPhone 4 or possibly the iPhone 6 so this was some time ago.

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.
