How to reset an Apple Watch with only one side button?

I have an Apple Watch with only one side button. I need to reset it, but I don’t know how. I cannot remember the password and Watch told me I had to reset it. Can you help.

The crown is a button. There is also a side button.

If you're saying that one of them is broken/not working, you need to make an appointment at the Genius Bar and get it repaired / replaced.

If you're saying there is only one button. Full stop. Then it is not an Apple Watch.
