To reset your passcode on your Apple Watch, you actually need to change it, either directly on the watch itself or through the Apple Watch app on your iPhone. There isn't a traditional "reset" process like with an Apple ID password.
Here's how to change your Apple Watch passcode:
Method 1: On Your Apple Watch
- Open the Settings app on your Apple Watch.
- Scroll down and tap Passcode.
- Tap Change Passcode.
- Enter your old passcode.
- Enter your new passcode.
- Enter your new passcode again to confirm.
Method 2: Using the Apple Watch App on Your iPhone
- Open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone.
- Tap My Watch at the bottom of the screen.
- Tap Passcode.
- Tap Change Passcode.
- Enter your old passcode on your Apple Watch.
- Enter your new passcode on your Apple Watch.
- Enter your new passcode again to confirm on your Apple Watch.
Important Considerations:
-
If you've forgotten your passcode completely, you'll need to erase your Apple Watch and set it up again. This will remove all data from the watch. You can then restore from a backup if you have one. To erase your watch, you'll do so from the Find My app (or Find My iPhone). You cannot bypass the passcode without erasing.
-
Consider using a longer, more complex passcode for increased security.
