Pairing watch with new phone

I broke my iPhone and had to get a new one. I couldn’t remember the password for my Apple account, I went through the 2 day process to reset it. I have new password and could log in now. But I was unable to pair my watch with the new phone because I don’t remember the password that was used to set it up originally

Apple Watch Series 3, watchOS 8

The passcode is to unlock the device. The password is to sign in with your Apple ID and should work once you’ve reset it and followed these steps: What to do after you change your Apple ID or password - Apple Support (BW)

You can ask apple to remove the activation lock online on this page;

Remove the Activation Lock Here.

Or this;

If you can't remember/gain access to the apple id that paired the watch to the phone.Take the watch and it's receipt with the serial number along with some photo id and any other proof of ownership to an Apple Store and request that they remove the Activation Lock for you.

Then;

Setup your Watch to a new iPhone
