Why did my Screentime password change unexpectedly?

Asked by CuriousGamer92
I recently set up a Screentime password on my iPad to monitor my usage. I confirmed the password, but when I tried to access "App & Website Activity," it changed my password out of nowhere. Now, the 'forgot password' button isn't working properly either; it just makes the keyboard disappear. What should I do to resolve this issue?

Definitely check the iPadOS version, as certain updates can fix bugs. If the restart doesnโ€™t help, try resetting your Screentime settings completely if you donโ€™t mind that. Just go to Settings > Screentime > Turn Off Screentime and set it up again from scratch.

It sounds like you might be dealing with a glitch in iPadOS. First, check if your iPad has the latest software update, as outdated versions can cause weird bugs like this. If itโ€™s up to date and the issue persists, try restarting your device. That sometimes helps reset any weirdness with password prompts.
