Apple Watch too many passcode attempts Too many passcode attempts on apple watch. Following reset instructions, place on charger, hold side button until power off display. I get the power off display, but when I press the crown button; i do not get the reset option.

My Apple Watch says "Too many passcode attempts, reset Apple Watch and pair again." It will not respond to attempts to reset by any means such as a force reset pushing both buttons. What can I do? I did not use it for several months prior. What do I do to reset the watch? I have tried a force reset by holding the buttons for 10 seconds, no luck.
