Some how, some way, my screen time passcode was either corrupted or “set and forget”.

In attempting to reset it, I got the “Error 9”.

I tried four times.

Took a break for dinner and was going to call Apple support. But, I thought “let’s try once more”.  And, WOW, it worked.

I’m pleased that everything was restored and I was able to turn off “screen time”.

But why didn’t it work the first four time?

Doesn’t inspire confidence!
