Unpair Apple Watch WITHOUT ERASING Data. Want to PAIR BACK to IIPX. How? TIA.

I have an IPX which I changed the APPLE ID PASSWORD. Upon TRYING to Use My APPLE WATCH- IT IS a SERIES 4. It has the CURRENT UPDATED SOFTWARE (9.6.3)-

it wanted me to SIGN into My Apple Watch with my NEW PASSWORD. I have tried Several Times.

with the ERROR statement as Failed Verification Attempt (?)

I was told by APPLE to UNPAIR and THEN RePAIR my Watch to My IPX.

Please. I do NOT wish to CLEAR the DATA on My Apple Watch.

What should I do NEXT?

thanks very much in advance.

iPhone X, iOS 16

When you unpair the watch a fresh backup is made with all the current data.

After pairing the watch with your iPhone X, you can restore the watch with the backup that was made.

M1 Mac mini, macOS 14.4.1;  Watch, series 7 GPS/cellular, watchOS 10.4; iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 17.4.1; TV 4th Gen, tvOS 17.4; HomePods, audioOS 17.4 and Airport Express w/ Airplay 2
