Resetting password for Child Apple ID account

I am trying to reset my son's password for his Apple ID. On my mac, I go to System Settings and click on Family. It lists my account as organiser and and also my son's account together with his age.


When I click on my son's account, I am taken to a window that shows Apple ID, Parents/Guardians, Screen Time... None of the options allows me to reset his Apple ID password. The only way to exit this screen is via a "Done" button at the lower right of the screen.


I would appreciate any assistance in resetting his AppleID password.
