Apple Watch won’t reset

I got a new phone and am trying to pair my Apple Watch. My Apple Watch will not reset and keeps popping up “too many passcode attempts reset Apple Watch and pair again” I tried holding down the side button, holding down the power off, and clicked erase all content and data but the message still pops up about “too many passcode attempts “ I know my password and have not entered it wrong..it just won’t give me the option. Anyone else had this problem?

Have you tried using the Watch app on your iPhone to reset the watch? See the "Use your paired iPhone" section in:
