 iPAD screentime - MD
I never asked to have this carp on my kit, but I understand it may be a battery heavy thing and I want to switch it off. However 'it' asks me for my screentime password which as far as I'm concerned doesn't exist and I've not set one up. 9 passcode attempts so far has yielded the square root of 'f' all. No issues on the Iphone with switching it off. Any ideas chaps?

Apparently if you previously had Restrictions enabled then it is the password you had for that.

I'll have a peek thank you. However I've tried all of my 'usual' numbers, but to no avail. Lump hammer maybe:-)

Have you ever set up a restrictions passcode?

If not, then set one up. Goto settings > content & privacy restrictions and then follow the instructions.

Whatever passcode you chose for this, should also be the same one for the screentime passcode.

Your heading says Ipad, then you refer to an Iphone ?
On my Ipad I Googled how to switch off Screentime.
It was easily done via settings without the use of a password.

MD only mentioned his iPhone in that he hasn't the same issues as he is having with his iPad.
