Apple Watch SE not letting me set Password

Hey so basically my Apple Watch SE is not letting me make a password and it is all greyed out. Also, I have the Apple Watch on my iPhone and it is not restricted but on my Apple Watch I can’t even see it. Also, when I try to search things up on Siri it doesn’t even work and I can’t access the website. Honestly Apple Watches are really overated and annoying and I would not recommend getting them.

If your password options on your watch are greyed out this can have something to do with screen time restrictions


In screen time>restrictions>privacy >allow changes for passcodes and accounts must be set to on. You can also try to turn off screen time altogether via your iphone


Make sure that wrist detection has been set up on your Apple Watch, that is needed to use a passcode
