Unable to reset watch

I recently upgraded to the new iPhone 12. My watch was paired to my previous phone. The phone was reset before I could unpair my watch. When I open the watch app on my phone it won't allow me to pair my watch because it's already paired. My watch is not giving me the option to enter my passcode. I can't figure out how to reset it. Help! There is no "I" icon and it just tells me that my device is locked.

Can’t change my passcode because my watch isn’t paired to my iPhone. What do I do? My watch is telling me that I need to reset my passcode. I am unable to do so, as my watch isn’t paired to my phone. It won’t let me pair my new phone as I think it might still be paired to my old phone, which no longer works.

My watch says too many passcode attempts reset apple watch and pair again. My watch is not paired with my new phone yet so I can’t reset it. Also when I try to reset it doesn’t have “my watch” to complete the reset 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

iPhone providing Passcode to Apple Watch Have an iPhone X and Apple watch series 5 paired. The iPhone provides the passcode to the watch. I recently had to restore my iPhone to a point prior to when I purchased my Apple watch. I was able to restore my iPhone, but I cannot reset/re-pair watch as the watch is still looking for the iPhone passcode to unlock.
