What if my phone doesn't ask me if "I've forgotten my passcode" then how do I reset the passcode if there even is away?

If you are unable to reset Screen Time passcode from the this-> link then, you will need a computer. If you don't have one, borrow from a friend.

You cannot reset the screen time passcode unless you are running iOS 13.4 or later. Your only option is to erase the phone completely and start all over again. Restoring a backup, will restore the passcode that you can’t remember.

If you have forgotten the Screen Time passcode and you do not see a link to reset it, the only way for you to remove that passcode is to use a computer as SravanKrA has stated and you must restore your iPhone to remove it. You cannot restore a backup, as the backup contains that passcode and you would only put it right back on the phone. You will have to set the iPhone up as new.
