Apple Watch randomly locked out for 8 Hours

I took off my Apple Watch 7 and put it on the charger. About 10 minutes later, I went to take my watch off the charger but noticed the screen showed “Wrong Password. Try again in 4 HOURS.” I put it back on the charger and it instantly changed to “8 HOURS.” I’m super confused. How do I fix this?

Apple Watch Series 7, watchOS 9

Could someone like a child have tried to play with the watch, while it was on its charger?


You'll need to either wait it out and then enter the correct passcode OR follow the directions in this link --> If you forgot your Apple Watch passcode - Apple Support
