Apple Watch series 4 not accepting password after upgrade to the latest software

After upgrading my Apple Watch Series 4 to the latest software version on 17/12/2018 is no longer accepting passcode which it was accepting before the upgrade. I followed instructions on https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204567, use your paired iPhone to reset did not work, it removed the Apple Watch from the Apple Watch app without resetting the watch.

Using the Apple Watch to reset itself is not working since the Watch is now displaying “Too Many Passcode attempts Reset Apple Watch and pair again”. The Watch is now not displaying anything else accept the above message. I regret doing the upgrade, but I have done other software upgrades before without issues. Anyone with ideas please help. After trying to force restart the Apple Watch it’s just showing the Apple log and display “Too Many Passcode attempts Reset Apple Watch and pair again”
