iPhone SE (2016) Disable Restrictions: 4 character passcode won't work

[Christopher11]

Hi. I tried to open Podcasts on my iPhone SE 2020, and apparently have to go to Settings> Screen Time > Restrictions to do so. However, iPhone asks me for a passcode and it's 4 digits, despite that my code is 6 digits. So it won't let me change anything. Can you help?

Thank you.

*I just installed the new iOS, so it isn't an outdated one.

 

[now i see it]

Restrictions passcode is always four numbers. Some time in the past the 4 digit passcode was set by you or someone else. Theres no tricky way to get past it except to set the phone up as new - The nuclear option

Just to add to the above, the screen time passcode is a new code you had set that's separate from your device lock screen passcode.

If you forgot your Screen Time passcode - Apple Support
