I left my passcode blank, inadvertanly, when trying to sync with my iwatch. How can I reset my passcode,not password?

I was trying to sync my Ultra Iwatch to open my Imac when I inadvertently left the current passcode blank. Now I can't set a new passcode to so that my ultra watch can open my Imac without me touching the keyboard .

That makes perfect sense, as your Apple Watch is unprotected by a passcode, so it should not possibly be permitted to open your iMac which does have a passcode.


Add a passcode to your Apple Watch. Do so in your iPhone’s Watch app under My Watch > Passcode.
