My Apple Watch Series 3 will not accept my passcode

My Apple 3 watch will not let me erase all content and settings and will not accept my passcode. It is locked. I’m trying to pair to my phone again.

Try this;

Press and hold both the side button and Digital Crown for about 10 seconds, then release both buttons when you see the Apple logo.Wait a few seconds, then hold down just the side button for about 20 seconds or until the “erase all settings” prompt shows up on the screen, then click it, then click the green check button.
