I have attempted to erase all content and settings and every time I try to pair it wants me to sign in to the old apple id which I couldn't remember and couldn't be recovered
Apple Watch Series 3, watchOS 7

I have an apple watch that is wanting to pair with an apple id that i could not remember with a phone that was broken. I had to create a new id because we were unable to recover it. What do I need to do to reset my watch so I am able to use it again?
