Help reset my Apple Watch

I’ve tried all Apple support steps and nothing has worked. I forgot my password and I’m trying to reset my Apple Watch so I can use it again

iPad, iPadOS 15

Is it linked to ur apple account? Because if u don’t know that password then u need to contact them to change it to one you will remember BEFORE you reset the watch. Last thing you want is to end up with an unusable brick of a watch that you are forever locked out of. That’s what happened to me. If I were you I would first go to the find my app and remove the watch from ur iCloud lock. THEN you can safely reset the watch. But make sure you do change ur password first so once the watch is reset you can easily just log into ur iCloud and link them again. Good luck!
