Apple Watch wont unlock my MacBook Pro

my apple watch was used to unlock my MacBook without me having to enter a password. I changed my Apple ID password a few days ago since I forgot it. Now when I go to settings and try to connect "Allow your apple watch to unlock your mac" and it shows a pop-up message of- "Your Apple Watch must be signed in to iCloud to allow it to unlock your Mac. You can sign in using the Apple Watch app on your iPhone." Has anyone had this problem? Help me!

Apple Watch Series 3, watchOS 7
