Do you want to reset the passcode for screen time? Or, are you really trying to say that you forgot the screen time passcode?
When you say that a button is missing, there is no button to do what you ask. You are likely confusing this with the option to reset the passcode for the iPhone.....not screen time.

Reset the Screen Time passcode for your iPhone or iPad
Now......if you are really saying that you have forgotten the Screen Time Passcode......that is an entirely different and much more complicated issue that will require Restoring your phone, which will erase the data on the phone, so that you can set up the iPhone again and use your current backup to get all the data back on the iPhone.

See especially “If you can’t reset your Screen Time passcode” here.

From the article I linked above:
”It’s recommended that you don’t skip adding a Screen Time Passcode Recovery. That way, if you forget your Screen Time passcode, you can use your Apple Account to reset it.”
So if you did not add Screen Time Passcode Recovery, you appear to be out of luck.

Not on the 2 iPhones here that are running iOS 26.7 and not on any other version of iOS 26 that I can remember.

Good catch.
That might have been the "button" or "option" that the OP was asking about.
