Screen Time Password

I forgot my screen time password and I can not erase my phone because it asks for it again. Is there any way I can recover the password in a free way?

iPhone 7, iOS 13

You cannot recover that passcode. You will have to restore the iPhone to factory and set it up as new. You will not be able to use a backup. You are going to have to put the device into Recovery Mode. See that information here, If you forgot the passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support

Sorry no.

You need to follow the same steps used to recover a forgotten passcode (to access your iPhone) provided in this support article at section “remove your passcode”:-> If you forgot the passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support

DO NOT try to recover data from a backup, since the screen time passcode would come back again.
