I've forgotten my Screen Time passcode and unfortunately, there's no option to reset it. I really don't want to remove the passcode either. I do have access to a Windows laptop, so I'm open to using that if necessary. Just so you know, I have a one-hour limit on Instagram and I'm not looking to watch YouTube shorts.

I tried what you suggested, but it didn’t work—my device doesn’t have an Apple ID linked to it. Any other ideas on how to recover my passcode?
If you don't see a 'forgot passcode' option, it may be because the device is part of a Family Sharing group. Typically, a parent can reset it from their device. Have you checked with anyone who might be an organizer on your Family Sharing plan?
That's a bummer! Without the Apple ID linked, options are pretty limited. One thing you could try is checking if there's a way to reset the settings using iTunes or Finder on your laptop, but be careful as this might erase some data.
