Forgot the Screen Time passcode?
How to bypass the forgotten Screen Time passcode? If you also encounter this problem, don’t worry.
This video will show you how to turn off Screen Time without passcode on iPhone or iPad.
Hey guys, welcome to the Tenorshare channel.
Forgetting the Screen Time passcode on your device will prevent you from turning off Screen Time.
To turn off Screen Time, you will need to use your Apple ID account or a device reset
method to solve this problem. If you reset the device,
it will erase all data on the device, so please remember to back up your device
data before performing the reset method. Now let's start executing these methods.
Method 1: Turn Off Screen Time With Apple ID (iOS 13.4 and later)
You need to open Settings on your iPhone or iPad. Then tap on Screen Time.
Scroll down to find the Change Screen Time Passcode option.
Tap on it and select Turn Off Screen Time Passcode.
Then you will see the Forgot Passcode option. Here you need to enter the Apple ID and password
used to set up Screen Time. Okay, that’s it for turning
off the Screen Time passcode. Then tap on Turn Off App & Website Activity.
This successfully removed the screen time limit. But if you have forgotten the Apple ID account
that you used to set up Screen Time, then you can look at the next method.
Method 2: Remove Screen Time Passcode with 4uKey If your device is running an older version of iOS,
you won’t be able to see the Forgot Passcode option when you
turn off the Screen Time passcode screen. In this case, I will try to use Tenorshare
4uKey to remove the Screen Time passcode. It can help you remove the Screen Time
without data loss. You can get 4uKey
from the link in the video description. Next, connect your device to the computer.
If the device pops up with a prompt to trust this computer,
you need to click the Trust option. Then open Settings and click
on your Apple ID account. You need to select the Find My option,
and then turn off the Find My iPhone feature. Then enter the Apple ID password to turn it off.
Next, in Tenorshare 4uKey, click Remove Screen Time Passcode.
Then click Start to Remove. Now it will start erasing
your device's Screen Time passcode. The process will take about 5 minutes.
After waiting for your device to restart, the Screen Time
restrictions on the device are removed. Now you can use your device normally.
Method 3: Using Recovery Mode to Wipe Screen Time (if all else fails)
If you cannot remember your Apple ID password, you may need to erase your
device and set it up as new. Note that this method will delete all data on your device,
so ensure you have a backup before proceeding. First, you need to connect your device to the
computer and use iTunes (Windows) or Finder (Mac) to back up.
Then you need to put the device into recovery mode.
You can check the method for putting iPhones and iPads into recovery mode in Tenorshare 4uKey.
Here, I'm using an iPhone 15, which requires you to press the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons,
and then press and hold the Power button on the side for about 20
seconds until the device shuts down and enters the Recovery Mode screen.
Other models follow the operations shown in Tenorshare 4uKey.
Next, you can restore your device. Windows users open iTunes, Mac users open Finder.
Then a prompt will pop up that your device needs to be updated or restored.
You need to click “Restore” and follow the instructions.
This will download the latest iOS firmware suitable for your device.
After the download is complete, your device will start resetting and restoring.
After waiting for the device to restart, you can proceed with the setup.
When you encounter iPhone Locked to Owner, you can choose to unlock with passcode.
Then enter the device passcode to unlock it. You can set up your iPhone as a new device.
Or in Transfer Your Apps & Data, choose to restore the device data from Mac or PC.
This successfully wiped out the screen time on the device.
To prevent future instances of forgetting the passcode,
securely record your Screen Time passcode or use a simple and easy-to-remember passcode.
And regularly back up your device data to avoid data loss when you need to reset the device.
If you still cannot unlock Screen Time, contact Apple Support for further assistance.
They can guide you through the process and help recover access to your device.
