I can’t get my watch to pair due to being locked out. And when I try to do it on my phone it will only let me set up a new watch

Apple Watch: Too many passcode attempts and cant reset via watch or phone I have had too many passcode attempts (its a long story) and now get the message Reset Apple Watch and Pair Again. The problem is I cant do a reset from my watch, because it is locked. When I tried doing it from my phone, I must have done something wrong, because all watch data/info has been lost from my phone, yet my phone won’t let me re-pair automatically and the manual set-up requires access to the “i” icon on the watch. What to do?!?

Hi I have a Series 3. The watch screen says “too many passcode attempts Reset apple watch and pair again” the problem is my watch will not pair with my iphone. And when I try to hard reset all it does is restart on its own. The sliders do not show up. I already deleted the iwatch profile in the app too. How can I pair the watch?
