Forgot passcode to Screentime

Hi,

I forgot the password to my screen time. I would like to delete it but I don't know how. I have tried many things. The button "Forgot Screentime" just doesn't show up. I think I have tried to many times. I have tried to reset it via my moms Phone, but it only turns off the screen time and doesn't reset the password. And I would like to look at my usage of my phone. I have heard you could reset it via iTunes. Does it work? And if I would reset via iTunes does ist not cause problems as I need my screen time password to set up my iPhone. Please Help!!!!

thank you

iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 16

These are the minimum requirements to reset the ScreenTime passcode:

The device must run iOS/iPadOS 13.4 or later;
You must know the Apple ID & Password that were used to set up that ScreenTime Passcode;
If you are part (member) of Family Sharing, ask the Organizer.

If you meet ALL above requirements, these are the instructions:--> If you forgot your Screen Time passcode – Apple Support

Shouldn't be this case, you need to erase that device following these instructions (even if related to the passcode to lock/unlock device's screen):--> If you forgot the passcode on your iPhone, or your iPhone is disabled - Apple Support

The bad news is that you cannot restore data from a backup, since the ScreenTime passcode would come back in.
