Factory Resetting Apple Watch
Okay this is a doozy and I’m pretty sure I’ve dug my own grave at this point. But one day the passcode that I’ve always used for my Apple Watch was no longer the passcode and I was locked out. I couldn’t access the watches info in the app on my phone either. I tried holding down the side button and dial until the apple logo came up, then just holding down the dial and I get the red exclamation part saying to go to support.apple.com/watch/restore and it’s stuck there. And then I tried just holding the side button and then the dial and I get the same response. I saw somewhere to try to remove the watch from the app and iCloud (this is where I dug my own grave) so I did. And I’m just still stuck in the same spot. I eventually got the watch to say “press ok to recover” (or whatever the phrasing is for that) and it said to enter a passcode and I put mine in, it spends 2-3 hours going through the loading process and then says it failed. I’ve tried using 1111, 0000 and 1234 as well and that’s a no go.
Anyone have any ideas?? I’m at my wits end. There’s gotta be some kind of resolution. I don’t love anywhere near an Apple Store either so I’m really trying to just figure it out at home.
Thank you in advance for any help and insight!
