Watch locked

I woke up this morning to find my watch locked for 7 hours?! It says “wrong passcode” but I just woke up and didn’t even try unlocking it yet. While I sleep, it charges. Is it possible someone tried hacking it remotely? Or is this a software issue?

Hello saracgd, 

Thank you for posting to the Apple Support Communities. 


This type of message may show on your Apple Watch if an incorrect passcode was entered too many times. At this point, you can wait to unlock your watch with the correct passcode or reset your Apple Watch. The following Apple Support articles can help you as well:
