Remove the profile that is restricting the changes.


Did you do something recently on your Mac that would have installed a profile?


Did you set up a work or school email account?

Did you download something recently that may have contained a profile?

Can you go to Settings ➜ General ➜ Device Management and see if there's a profile installed?

Do you have Screen Time Settings enabled?
