Apple Watch Series 5 locked out

I’ve tried to do the reset and erase using the power button while the watch is on the charger, but it still doesn’t unlock. The passcode I normally use isn’t unlocking it either, and now I’ve had to many attempts. I don’t have a paired phone either.

Apple Watch locked me out. How can I just reset my watch without erasing when my phone won’t work with it. Turned both off and on but can’t get into my watch. Says too many passcode attempts. I just accidentally knocked it off charger last night and woke up to this. My phone won’t connect with it.

I watch series 4 totally locked Hi, I have a series 4 watch. I know the passcode but it doesn’t work. I reset the watch then it has come up as a passcode on the screen. Don’t know why but it has been unpaired for my iPhone also. I can not seem to find a solution to this nightmare I am having. when I hold power button it just resets the watch and goes to the passcode screen again. it won’t show up the power down option either so I can’t reset it again. any help appreciated.
