Screen Time passcode not updating after it being changed

I got a notification that my Screen Time passcode was entered on my son’s phone and he’s current away on a trip so I’m guessing he figured out my passcode. I changed the passcode but when I go to make any changes, it’s still prompting me for the old passcode. I’m the Family Organizer and have Share Across All Devices turned on. Currently running iOS 18.5. How can I get the passcode to update?

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 18

It appears as though I was changing my screen time passcode not realizing I needed to go into his profile to change it from there (as suggested by smartboiiyeet below) I also restarted my phone just in case and it’s working now. Thanks for responding!
