No option to erase all settings on Watch reset These are the instructions to reset the Watch when the passcode is forgotten. At step 3, when I hold The Digital Crown, it just returns me to the lock screen. I do not get an option to erase content. Put your watch on its charger and keep it there until you complete these steps. Press and hold the side button until you see the power button in the upper-right corner of the display. Press and hold the Digital Crown until you see Erase all content and settings. Tap Reset, then tap Reset again to confirm.

Factory resetting series 2 watch When I get to the step of pressing the Digital Crown button, “erase all content” option does not come up. My watch just asks me to enter my passcode. I’ve only ever used 1 four digit passcode since I’ve owned the Watch and it’s telling me it’s not correct. I’ve tried to reset through my the watch app but the watch didn’t actually reset. Now my phone is asking me to pair the watch which is not possible.

Too Many Passcode Attempts - Reset Apple Watch and Pair Again My watch has been removed from my iCloud and its profile has been removed from my phone. When I attempt the Erase all content and settings reset the watch will reboot back to the original screen that when touched states that Too Many Passcode Attempts - Reset Apple Watch and Pair Again. I am unable to get the watch to reset back to factory settings so I can pair with my phone again with a passcode I've written down someplace. Any help is greatly appreciated.
