Got it.
Open the Watch app.
Go to the My Watch tab.
Scroll down to Passcode.
Select Change Passcode.
Enter your new current passcode on your Apple Watch.
Re-enter your new passcode to confirm.

Tap what, please? Yes, but I didn't find a Change Passcode entry.

Okay, let's try this way.
1. Put your 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.

Never mind--it accepted the original passcode after I charged it. Thanks anyway.
