I just setup family sharing on my child's iPhone.
I need to change the passcode on that phone but can't seem to figure out a way to do that.
There's no option to change passcode, no option to add finger print access.
Can't go into the iCloud settings on the phone so can't turn find my iPhone off and hence restore the phone.
Thanks
Go to Settings>Screen Time (just above Settings) on your daughter's phone. Then, type in the passcode, and scroll to the Content & Privacy section, tap that, enter Screen Time passcode, scroll down to the "Allow" section, and see if turning "Passcode Changes" back on will result in the option showing back up in Settings.

See if you can turn off Find My Phone using the steps in the first 2 articles below. If you can do that, see the 3rd link to change the access passcode. If you are dealing with Parental Control, see the 4th link.
iCloud: Remove your device from Find My iPhone
Activation Lock - Turn off Find My iPhone
Use parental controls on your child's iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
OK, so not clear on where you are looking for the Passcode option. When you go to Settings, are you indicating that you are not seeing Touch ID & Passcode listed in the same section that is headed by "General"? Do you have Restrictions set up on the device?
Why can't you go into iCloud Settings on the phone?
Can you clarify?

Hi GM
I am trying to change the passcode of my daughter’s phone. When I go into the settings of her phone, the regular spot (under general) where the option to change passcode and finger iD (her’s is an iPhone 6+ running iOS 12.1) doesn’t have it.
When I go into the iCloud settings of my phone, don’t see an option to change passcode of my daughter’s phone there as well.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks DJ

I may be misunderstanding you. But, Touch ID & Passcode is not under Settings>General. It's at the top level of Settings, just below Siri & Search. Is that where you're looking?

Yeah - I thought the OP just meant the Touch ID & Passcode option in the section with "Generat" at the top.... Since it doesn't show at all, I'm thinking Restrictions?

See if this helps. Why can't you access iCloud settings? What happens when you try? Error message(s)?
An excellent guess!
