I'm having trouble with my Screen Time passcode on my Apple devices. I heard the Apple Watch uses the same Screen Time passcode as the paired iPhone, but when I tried following the steps from Apple's support page, it didn't work for me. It seems like my devices aren't syncing the passcode properly, and now I'm stuck. If I can't figure it out, am I really left with no choice but to factory reset my iPhone?

I feel your pain! It sounds like a real headache when the devices don't play nice. Make sure you're not just mixing up the Screen Time passcode with your normal unlock passcode, too. If you have tried everything and nothing seems to work, a factory reset may indeed be necessary, but I'd recommend checking with Apple Support to see if they have any other solutions first.
Yeah, it can be a bit of a hassle if the passcodes aren't syncing correctly. You did mention trying the official steps, but if that's not working, a factory reset might be the last resort. Just remember, doing that means you'll need to set everything up from scratch, and you won't be able to restore from a backup if you want to keep the screen time settings wiped. It's a tough spot, but sometimes that's what it takes.
