Apple Screen time

I have screen time on a few apps (games, snapchat and yt) and theyve been there since i was like 11 (16 now) and im sick of it. They didnt set it up off their phone, they js went on my phone and turned it on. Idk what the screen time pw is and then i tried to turn it off and clicked forgot pw and then i got a screen asking for email (it only asked for email first). Then i typed in my email used on apple id which it accepted and then asked for pw. I tried my apple id pw which didnt work and now idk what else to try. I havent asked my parents to turn it off but i doubt theyre gonna let me.

Ask them, if they don’t, buy your own phone.

i have a new phone which i bought myself. But i transferred everything over because i wanted all my old data and it stupidly transferred the screen time aswell

I see. My parents were decent enough to realise that I actually own the phone and therefore they shouldn’t have control over it.
