If you do not have that option in Settings then check at Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > Passcode Changes. This must be set to Allow before you will see the option in Settings.


If you are on a Family Plan, it is the Organizer that would have control and it makes no difference what setting you have on your device. They would have to allow that option for you.
