Nest door bell Connecting to joining device error.

Hey guys, 
I recently purchased the google door bell. It worked all fine when I installed it. But, as soon as I changed the wifi ssid and the password everything became upside down. 
The bell does not connect anymore, just says connected to joining devices and then something went wrong. 
I have a couple of smart devices at home like the nest hubs, a google assisted HK sound bar, a robo vac.
As mentioned in previous threads, I tried to turn all of them off and connect still no success. 
I created a new home and tried to connect the bell first, still no success. 
It gives me the same error again and again. 
Please help me.

Did you do a factory reset by pressing the reset button for at least 12 seconds before attempting the reinstall?

Hey Everybody! 
thank you all for your replies. 
None of these steps worked. I just had to take it back in and replace it with another one.
