Step 6: Confirm the Apple Watch you wish to unpair, then decide on a cellular decision

Apple will make sure you want to unpair a specific watch. You'll select unpair. Then you'll be prompted if you want to keep your cellular plan on the watch. If you're keeping the watch and plan to use it again, you can keep the plan. If you're planning on trading it in or selling it, you can uncouple the cell plan.

Step 7: Enter you Apple ID password to complete the unpairing.

If you've forgotten your Apple ID password, it's easy to reset.

Apple has the exact steps, but effectively, you'll navigate to settings on your watch and then reset.
