There is no reset option if you did not set one up when the Passcode was entered. You would have been asked if you want to use an Apple ID/Password to reset the Passcode if forgotten, and if you do not do that, then another warning comes up saying you will not be able to reset the Passcode if forgotten and you will have the option to Skip or enter the Apple ID/Password. Choosing skip means there is no other recovery option.
Now you will need to Factory Reset the device, and I don't believe you can use an iCloud backup to restore as that would also bring back the Screen Time Passcode.
