I need help resetting my old Apple Watch. I do not remember the passcode to get into it, and it is not paired to my new iPhone.

Please confirm that the Watch is unpaired to prevent Activation Lock, then follow the steps below:


1. Put your watch on its charger and keep it there until you complete these steps.


2. Press and hold the side button until you see the power button in the upper-right corner of the display.


3. Press and hold the Digital Crown until you see Erase all content and settings.


4. Tap Reset, then tap Reset again to confirm.


5. Set up Your Apple Watch again. Look at this if you need help.


Have a great day!
