If you can't get them to tell you the passcode, you need to erase and reset the phone.


Hard reset


If there are restrictions in Screen Time that are preventing access, you will need to restore the device to factory settings. Do not restore from a backup made when the Screen Time code was active.


Restore to Factory setting


Backup - Restore your device from an iCloud or iTunes backup
