Can't remember pattern to get into watch. Now I've attempted so many times, I think I'm just locked out after too many attempts. I'm fairly certain I remember it now, but still can't get it to open. Therefore, I can't do the hard reset (I tried) bc I can't get to settings! Ideas?

My Galaxy Watch 4 SM R890 has decided not to start after I left it at home during a holiday and obviously depleted the battery fully. It won't charge at all and will not turn on or force restart. Its less than 12 months old.
