[Works!] Forgot Apple Watch Passcode: How to Reset It?

Passcode always serves as a good security measure to save your devices from unauthorized access or unwanted break-ins. Apple Watch uses the same passcode security feature to keep your data safe.

If you remember your Apple Watch passcode, it's super easy to reset it by simply going to the settings. However, if you forgot Apple Watch passcode and are locked out of the lock screen; or if your Apple Watch has the iCloud Activation Lock on and you forgot the correct passcode, you may be hoping to reset Apple Watch altogether to get rid of those locks without passcode.

Luckily, one of the easiest ways is by factory resetting the device to reset Apple Watch password, and this guide will show you how to do that.

Part 1. Reset Apple Watch Passcode with Apple Official Methods

If you forgot Apple Watch passcode, you can reset the passcode by factory resetting your Apple Watch altogether. The good thing is that you can restore your erased data from a backup later on since Apple Watch automatically backs up the data to the iPhone you paired it with.

Apple Official Method 1: Factory Reset Apple Watch

• Connect your Apple Watch to its charge and leave it there.
• Press and hold the Side button of your Apple Watch and leave it when the POWER OFF slider pops up on the screen.
• Now, press and hold the Digital Crown on your Apple Watch screen until the "Erase all content and settings" option appears. Tap on it.

• Tap Reset twice to confirm resetting your Apple Watch.
• Once the process is completed, set up your Apple Watch again as a new.

Apple Official Method 2: Reset Apple Watch on Paired iPhone

If you forgot Apple Watch passcode but have the paired iPhone nearby, then you can reset your Apple Watch on iPhone by following these simple steps.

• Make sure that your Apple Watch and Paired iPhone are near each other while doing these steps.
• In the Watch app on your iPhone, select My Watch > General > Reset.
• Tap Erase Apple Watch Content and Settings and then tap again to confirm. Enter Apple ID password if asked.

Once the process is completed, you'll be able to access your Apple Watch without passcode and set up a new one later.

Part 2. How to Remove Apple Watch Activation Lock?

Apple Watch also has an iCloud Activation Lock just like every other iOS device. Whenever you turn on Find My feature on your iDevices, the iCloud Activation Lock is enabled automatically and it blocks the access to the device if the user doesn't enter the correct login Apple ID and password.

In this case, if you're trying to reset Apple Watch without passcode because the watch is iCloud locked. Then check out these two methods to remove the Apple Watch Activation Lock. 

Solution 1: Disable It from Paired iPhone

Disable the Activation Lock on your Apple Watch by simply un-pairing your Apple Watch from your iPhone.

Here's how you can do it.

• Make sure that your Apple Watch and iPhone are close to each other.
• Open the Watch App on your phone and select the My Watch tab.
• Now, select your Apple Watch, and tap on the info button "i" to the right of it.
• Tap Unpair Apple Watch to unpair your watch.

Now confirm the action with your Apple ID and password. Now you've successfully disabled the Activation Lock on your Apple Watch.

Solution 2: Remove It from iCloud.com

If you don't have any paired devices with your Apple Watch, you can still disable the iCloud Activation Lock from iCloud.

• First of all, go to iCloud.com on the browser of your computer.
• Sign-in, using your Apple ID and password.
• Go to Find My iPhone > All Devices and find your Apple Watch here.
• Click Erase Apple Watch and the Erase button to remove the Apple Watch Activation Lock.
