Apple Watch Won’t Factory Reset I forgot the passcode on my Apple Watch Series 3. I went through the factory reset steps while keeping the watch on the charger, the icon on the dial “spun” but when the watch restarted it wasn’t reset and still locked. It now reads “too many passcode attempts..” and no matter how many times I go through the steps and select erase all content and settings, it still brings me to a locked screen. I removed the device from my Apple ID, as it was linked to an older iPhone I had and got rid of. still locked out. Any suggestions?
