no option to reset Screentime passcode on ipad

I have no option to change the screetime passcode on my ipad 7th generation. I am the account holder and a passcode was put in place so my daughter could not change settings. She now has an ipad of her own so i need to remove the passcode in order to reset the ipad and remove her apple account from it - i have followed the processes to do this but in order to enter the restrictions section i need the passcode, which i don't have. please help!

iPad, iOS 10

This removes the forgotten Restrictions Passcode.

You must use a computer (Mac or Windows PC with iTunes).

✔ Step 1: Turn off the iPad

Hold Power → Slide to power off

✔ Step 2: Put the iPad into Recovery Mode

iPad 7th Gen uses Home button.

Hold Home button
Connect iPad to computer using USB
Keep holding until you see:
Connect to computer / Recovery Mode screen

✔ Step 3: Restore the iPad

On your computer:

macOS Catalina or newer → open Finder
macOS Mojave or Windows → open iTunes

You will see:

▶ “There is a problem with the iPad that requires it to be updated or restored.”

Choose:

👉 Restore

This will:

✔ Erase all data

✔ Remove the Restrictions passcode

✔ Install the latest iPadOS your iPad supports (iPadOS 17 for iPad 7th gen)

After restoring, you can sign in with the correct Apple ID and set it up normally.
