Apple watch 8 passcode not working

All passcode options are grayed out except for wrist detection. I’ve tried reset, erasing all settings, connecting to a different iPhone, restoring from a previous install point and i still have the problem. Help, please!

You may have Screen Time Restrictions set to ON on your iPhone that is paired with your Apple Watch.

Perform the following action on your iPhone:

Open Settings ➔ Screen Time ➔ Content & Privacy Restrictions ➔ Passcode Changes : Set this to ALLOW
