How to Reset Screen Time Passcode on iPhone, iPad [VIDEO]
Screen Time gives you information about how you and your family members spend time on your Apple devices. Apple has shared a new tutorial video on YouTube, explaining how to create, manage, and reset your Screen Time passcode .
When you set up Screen Time, you’ll create a passcode that must be entered before changing the settings you selected for yourself or for your child’s device. You can set limits, schedule time away from the screen, and more.
To make sure that your Screen Time settings sync across all the devices in your Family Sharing group, update all the devices to the latest software version before turning on or changing your Screen Time settings. If you have Share Across Devices turned on, your Screen Time passcode automatically updates on those devices if you reset it.
If you ever forget your Screen Time passcode, or the Screen Time passcode for your child’s device, you can reset it using your Apple Account. Here’s how:
- On the Family organizer’s device, open the Settings app, then tap Screen Time.
- Scroll down and choose a child’s name under Family.
- Under Restrictions, tap Manage Screen Time.
- Tap Change Screen Time Passcode, then tap Change Screen Time Passcode again.
- Enter a new Screen Time passcode, then enter it again to confirm.
