If you are locked out of your Apple Watch, you will need to erase all content and setting, then load from a backup.


Press and hold the side button until you see the power button. Press and hold the Digital Crown until you see Erase all content and settings. Tap Reset, and confirm. Then you can set up your Apple Watch again from a backup, and set a new passcode.
