How do I pair an unpaired and apple watch and forgotten password?

Hello,

My baby nephew was playing with my Iphone and apple watch and now my apple watch is saying "Wrong Passcode Open the Apple Watch App on your Iphone, go to Passcode, them tab re-enable Passcode Entry to try again.

My problem is that when I go to my Iphone and the Apple Watch App it is then telling me "Pair Apple Watch".

It seems that I am unable to either one without the passcode.

Hi

Follow these steps to erase your locked Apple Watch and re-pair it with your iPhone:

Connect your watch to its charging cable, connected to power.
Whilst keeping your Apple Watch on the charger:
- Press and hold the side button until you see the Power Off slider.
- Press firmly on Power Off (do not try to slide it - just press down more firmly than a normal tap), release your finger 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.
