I forgot my password for my Apple Watch and I’m following the steps to reset it and it’s not working.

i forgot my password to my Apple Watch and I don’t have it linked to my phone where I’d gotten a new one. I tried resetting it with the steps apple suggested and it’s not working. Is there anything else I can do?
