Unable to pair my iWatch 6 with my new iPhone 14

Hi, I am trying to pair my iWatch 6 to my new iPhone 14 , but it is not picking my iCloud account(connected to my phone) , instead it is picking up other account related to my family and asking for its password. Both the account and the phone number related to it are no longer active. I am blocked and unable to pair my watch to my new phone.

Could you please help me resolve this ?
