Change Passcode

I lost my iPhone, & bought another one already, but I Can't connect the Apple Watch to the new iPhone, The massage on my Apple Watch "Wrong Passcode, Open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone, go to passcode, then tap Re-enable Passcode"

Any other way to change my Apple Watch Passcode??

Thank you

Hi

Your Apple Watch will need to be erased before it can be paired to your replacement iPhone.

Follow these steps to erase your locked watch and pair it with your new iPhone:

Connect your watch to its charging cable, with power connected.
Press and hold the side button until you see the Power Off slider.
Press firmly on the display (do not try to slide the Power Off slider - just press down more firmly than a normal tap) and then tap on Erase all content and settings.
Pair your watch using the Watch app on your iPhone, choosing to Restore from Backup if offered the option.
