How to unlock Apple Watch when password is forgotten?

How to reset your Apple Watch if you forgot your passcode:



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 Power Off.
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. Wait for the process to finish, then set up your Apple Watch again. When asked, restore from a backup.

NOTE — Erasing all content and settings erases all media, data, and settings from your Apple Watch, but it does not remove Activation Lock. To remove Activation Lock, unpair the watch first. Before your watch is erased, a backup of its contents is created on your iPhone.
