How to Remove Screen Time from iPhone Without Password

Removing Screen Time from your iPhone without the password can be a tricky task, but it is possible with the right steps. If you have forgotten your Screen Time passcode or have acquired a device with Screen Time restrictions enabled, there are ways to bypass or remove it.

Method 1: Reset All Settings

To remove Screen Time without a password, you can try resetting all settings on your iPhone. This will erase all custom settings, including the Screen Time passcode. Here's how:

1. Go to 'Settings' on your iPhone.
2. Scroll down and tap on 'General'.
3. Scroll down again and select 'Reset'.
4. Tap on 'Reset All Settings'.
5. Enter your iPhone passcode if prompted.
6. Confirm the reset by selecting 'Reset All Settings' again.
7. Your iPhone will restart with all settings reset, including Screen Time.

Method 2: Restore iPhone Using iTunes

If the first method does not work, you can try restoring your iPhone using iTunes. This will erase all data on your device, including the Screen Time passcode. Follow these steps:

1. Connect your iPhone to a computer with iTunes installed using a USB cable.
2. Launch iTunes and select your iPhone when it appears.
3. Click on 'Restore iPhone'.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the restoration process.
5. Once the restore is done, set up your iPhone as a new device.
6. Screen Time will be removed, along with all other data.

It is important to note that both methods will result in the loss of data, so be sure to backup your iPhone beforehand if possible.

By following these steps, you can remove Screen Time from your iPhone without a password. Remember to use this knowledge responsibly and only on devices that you own or have explicit permission to reset.
