Before iOS 12 and below, we use Restrictions to control and limit some apps usage time. After update to iOS 12, Screen Time as one of new features in iOS 12, it's more powerful than restrictions function: Downtime, App limits, Always Allowed, Content & Privacy Restrictions.

If you have rest the restrictions passcode in old iOS version, by default, the screen time passcode is the restriction passcode in new iOS 12.

But some iPhone user feedback that they never set the restriction passcode in iPhone. Why they need a passcode to access screen time? The only reason is that your family member has added your Apple ID to the family sharing When they set up Screen Time for Family.
