Uh oh! Forgotten your Apple Watch passcode and locked out? Don't panic! While it's not ideal, there's a way to reset your Apple Watch and get back in the game, although it will erase all your data.
This method requires you to have your paired iPhone nearby. Here's the lowdown:
1. **Force Restart:** Place your Apple Watch on its charger. Press and hold both the side button and the Digital Crown simultaneously. Keep holding them until you see the Apple logo.
2. **Erase All Content and Settings:** Once the Apple Watch restarts, you'll see options on your iPhone. Choose to erase all content and settings. This will remove your passcode and other personal information.
3. **Restore (Optional):** During the setup process on your iPhone, you'll have the option to restore from a recent backup if you have one. This will bring back your data as it was before the reset.
Remember, resetting your Apple Watch will delete everything. Make regular backups to iCloud to minimize data loss. This method is a last resort, but it's a lifesaver when you're completely locked out!
