Changing Passcode on Family Member's Apple Watch

How do I change the passcode on my family member's watch? When I click on my family member's watch in the Watch app, there is no "My Watch" page like there is when I select my own watch. It is on the "My Watch" page where the passcode link lives. I cannot change the passcode on the family's member's Apple Watch because it is grayed out/locked.

Will this not work?

  1. Put the watch on its charger and keep it there until you complete these steps.
  2. Press and hold the side button until you see the power button in the upper-right corner of the display.
  3. Press and hold the Digital Crown until you see Erase all content and settings.
  4. Tap Reset, then tap Reset again to confirm.
  5. Wait for the process to finish, then set up your Apple Watch again. When asked, restore from a backup.
