My Apple Watch says "Too many passcode attempts, reset Apple Watch and pair again." It will not respond to attempts to reset by any means such as a force reset pushing both buttons. What can I do? I did not use it for several months prior.

What do I do to reset the watch? I have tried a force reset by holding the buttons for 10 seconds, no luck.
