Thank you for your response. Yes, I’ve restarted my Apple Watch SE multiple times, but unfortunately, it remains stuck in a passcode loop.


After each restart, the watch continues to prompt me to set a new passcode, but even after entering a new code, it immediately requests another. This cycle repeats endlessly, preventing me from using the watch.


I’ve attempted various troubleshooting steps, including resetting, deleting, and restarting the device. However, none of these actions have resolved the issue. Additionally, the options on my paired iPhone, such as switching to a 4-digit code, are inaccessible.


This issue has persisted for several days now, and I'm unable to use the watch at all. Has anyone encountered this problem or found a solution?


Thank you in advance for any guidance or recommendations..
