Forgetting your passcode can be a huge problem for Apple Watch owners, as it can prevent you from accessing your device. This is especially troublesome since the passcode for your Apple ID may not be the same as the one for your watch, iPhone, or Face ID. However, there is a solution that can clear all data from your watch, even if you don’t have the passcode or if the device is experiencing technical issues.
To restore your Apple Watch Series 7, you’ll need to use the two buttons on the side of the device, as well as a power supply. First, connect the power supply to the right side of your watch. Then, hold down the power button until the reboot screen appears. When you see this screen, press and hold the digital crown button until you’re taken to the setup wizard.
From there, you can erase all content and settings by selecting the “Erase All Content and Settings” option. The watch will ask you to confirm that you want to reset the device to factory default, and once you do, it will take a few minutes to complete the process. After it’s finished, you’ll need to set up your watch again and choose a new passcode.
It’s important to note that while this process will erase all media, data, and settings on your watch, it won’t remove your ownership of the device or your Apple ID. If you have a backup of your Apple Watch, there won’t be any issues, but if you don’t, all of your data will be lost permanently.
In conclusion, resetting your Apple Watch Series 7 without a paired phone or password is a simple process that can be done using just the watch’s buttons and a power supply. By following these steps, you can quickly troubleshoot your device and regain access to it.
