The Screen Time, updated by Apple since iOS 12, is used to limit the access of the iPhone. For example, when setting a time limit in the Screen Time, the selected apps may only be accessed for a limited period in a day. However, the Screen Time Passcode cannot be found once you lost it.

Fortunately, 3uTools can help you get the Screen Time Passcode back. Basically, you need to back up the Screen Time encrypted iDevice on 3uTools first, and 3uTools will crack the Screen Time Passcode from the backup during the process.


When it comes to the point to crack the Screen Time Passcode, there is a slight difference between iOS (7 to 11) and iOS (after 11), which is you will have to set a passcode to the backup of devices later than iOS 11, while it is not needed for iOS 7 to iOS 11.
