[Solved] How to Turn Off Screen Time without a Passcode?

Part 1: Turn off screen time with a passcode, does it work?

When enabling the Screen Time feature on your iOS device (iPhone or iPad), you create a 4-digit passcode to protect its settings. So, you will have to enter the passcode each time you intend to make changes in the feature.

Whereas, if you have forgotten your passcode or do not want to continue using a passcode with the Screen Time on your iDevice, you may opt to turn off the Screen Time passcode. Follow the following steps to do that:

Trin 1: To begin, first, you need to check whether the operating system on your device is updated to iOS 13.4 or iPadOS 13.4 or later.

Trin 2: Åbn ‘Indstillinger’ på din enhed, efterfulgt af ‘Skærmtid’.

Trin 3: On the ‘Screen Time’ menu, select ‘Change Screen Time Passcode’. Although the option’s name suggests changing the passcode, it simultaneously lets you turn off the passcode.

Trin 4: Type your current passcode here, and your passcode will be disabled on your iOS device.
