In this article, we'll work around what to do when there is no option "Forgot Passcode" showing up for Screen Time. You can still reset your screen time passcode even if you have no option to forget the screen time passcode. Then you can access your iPhone or iPad with a disabled screen time status. Stay tuned to find out how.

Why No Forgot Passcode Option for Screen Time.

"Forgot Passcode" option not showing up on the screen time feature of your iPhone or iPad? Some people complain about it that the Apple official support told me to reset the screen time passcode via tapping the "Forgot Passcode", while it's a joke for me that I couldn't find the option or the button on their devices.

1. On a child's or a family member's device with turning screen time passcode on via family sharing, you have no Forgot Passcode option/button on the child's devices. Note that if you set the screen time passcode on the organizer's device for children, you should find no Forgot Passcode option on the children's device or other family members' devices. In this case, you can only reset the forgotten screen time passcode(for kids) on the organizer's device.
   • For forgot child's screen time passcode with family sharing, refer to Forgot Your Child’s Screen Time Passcode.
   • For a family member who wants to turn off the screen time with family sharing, please refer to our guide: How to Turn Off Screen Time with Family Sharing.
2. If your device is running a version prior to iOS 13.4 or iPadOS 13.4, there will be no "Forgot Passcode" and Apple's Screen Time Passcode Recovery. Update the iOS versions to iOS 13.4 or later, or iPadOS 13.4 or later and use the Forgot Passcode Option.
3. On older iPhone models, there is no way to tap the "Forgot Passcode?" option on Screen Time. iOS 13.4 did bring the ability to do so, but some older iPhone models(like iPhone 6, iPhone 5, and older) are too old and not capable of running 13.4 or higher.

The kids can only be able to find the Forgot Passcode option if they control their screen time passcode on their own devices when authorized by their parents on iOS 13.4 or later devices.
