Lost your Screen Time Password? Here's What You Can Do

So you've found yourself locked out of your Screen Time settings on your device, and you can't remember the password you set. Don't worry, you're not alone. Forgetting your Screen Time password can be frustrating, but there are a few steps you can take to regain access.

1. Use Apple ID Password

If you have synced your device with your Apple ID, try using your Apple ID password as the Screen Time password. In some cases, these passwords might be the same.

2. Reset Screen Time Passcode

If the first step doesn't work, you can reset the Screen Time passcode. Go to Settings > Screen Time, tap on 'Change Screen Time Passcode,' and then choose the option 'Forgot Passcode?'. You will be prompted to enter your Apple ID password to reset the passcode.

3. Restore Device

If all else fails, you can restore your device to factory settings. This will erase all data on your device, including the Screen Time password. Make sure to back up your data before proceeding with this step.

Remember, it's essential to keep track of your passwords and passcodes to avoid such situations in the future. Consider using a reliable password manager to securely store and manage all your passwords.
