iOS 12 Screen Time: Forgotten Code

The screen time code is there to remove set restrictions again. Accordingly, the code should be kept secret from your children or strangers, so they can not freely use the smartphone. If you forget the code, there is a problem.

iOS 12 code forgotten: This is why it becomes a bane

Using screen time, you set various restrictions for your iPhone. For example, your children can only use an app for a certain amount of time until access is blocked.

1. The code you set during setup is there to remove the screen time restrictions and return the device to normal operation.
2. If you no longer know the code, the device cannot be unlocked and is permanently subject to the restrictions.
3. Resetting the code is not possible, so the only option to remove the restrictions is to reset the device to factory defaults.
4. In doing so, a considerable amount of data and settings can be lost.

iOS 12: How to find out the screen time code

1. The app "Pinfinder" allows you to find out the screen time code again.
2. Problematisch ist nur, dass die App aktuell noch nicht für iOS 12 verfügbar ist.
3. Die einzige Möglichkeit bleibt also, geduldig abzuwarten, bis die App auf die neue Version angepasst wurde.
4. Alternativ können Sie das Smartphone immer noch auf Werkseinstellungen zurücksetzen.
