Random tip: If you want to restrict apps etc on your iPhone but not know the Screen Time pin, I recommend the following simple system which allows you to not know the password but unlock restrictions easily when needed:
Ask a friend to write a 4 digit pin in a small note book (which is dedicated only for this pin)
Ask them to punch in the pin to your phone when setting the Screen Time password
Keep the notebook in your backpack and never look inside of it, ever
If you ever need your phone unlocked, you can walk up to someone, even a stranger, show them the notebook and ask them to punch in the pin to your phone
The system works because having a dedicated physical object that you commit to never look inside is surprisingly doable, for some reason.

Yup, this is what I did, but I just didn’t have the notebook. I like the bright line.
Ah — sorry if I missed that in the post, only skimmed
