Enter Passcode for Other iPhone endless loop

Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions. These are mostly user to user discussions.

If you want to, you can send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem or a suggestion for change. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem/suggested change solved sooner. Pick the closest topic you can find.

You may have already resolved your issue, but if you haven't or someone else has this same issue I am responding with what I did to resolve this... I was told by someone at Best Buy that the "other passcode" must have been one on a former phone that I had set up in the past. I can say with 99% certainty that I never set up a six digit passcode in the past, but he assured me that if I back up my phone to the cloud, then click on Reset Encrypted Data, it would not be a problem with my current phone because it is referring to the old phone. So I did that and it did solve that issue with no apparent problems.

After talking to someone at Simply Mac, an Apple store, about the problem with my phone and watch not "communicating", I was told that the software updates on each weren't jiving. So I cleared out and "reset" my watch and started over. I didn't love doing that but I had only had the watch for a week so it was not too painful. It worked and all seems to be working together okay now.

Good luck to everyone else having similar issues.

I am having the same problem as the person above, ravens515, but my phone is the Apple 13 and it is also not "speaking to" by Apple Watch series 7, both brand new.

Thank you.
