If this isn’t working for you, try a slightly different method: Connect Apple Watch to charger, press and hold side bar, press and hold the Power Off icon, the screen will shrink and the erase button will pop up. Credit: @Prabodh K Sheth
Actually appreciate you because my watch was locked for over a year and I didn’t know what to do and I came to RUclips found your page and thank you, Walla. It’s fixed.
Oh my goodness!!!!! I could not get my watch to pair with my new phone. I EVEN went to the Apple Store, and they told me that it wouldn’t pair because the watch was older. I was in the Apple Store for 2 hours!! Thank you, thank you!!! You are absolutely AMAZING and I will be subscribing and tuning in to your channel. You Rock!!!
My moms Apple Watch got locked because she forgot her password then I searched up “how to fix Apple Watch if locked” and I saw your 51 second video and It works! Thank you a lot!
I have an older watch (series 5) and the above advice didn't work for me. I called in and they used a different method: 1) connect to charger 2) hold crown and side button at the same time for a few seconds then let go 3) then I saw the apple logo and was told to press and hold the side button until a red button showed up prompting me to erase and reset the watch Hope this helps!
This guy is clearly short to the point that I need it exactly. Some people talking talking potato too much . Thx you for this helpful a lot .. namastay
While on board , my apple watch has locked maybe someone attempt to open it , bcoz i left it charging😢now i watched ur video and thanks u saved my day…
I was really suffering and tired a lot to reset after 'too many passcode attempts' but and now this video has helped me. Thankyou for sharing this beautiful tips ❤️❤️
Thank you so much been having this issue for 5 days. Even went to my provided and they told me to go to the Apple Store, was planing to go today until I found 🎉his video. Life saver.❤❤❤
He’s not kidding about needing the charger. Wasted a ton of time but this video helped me realize the charger is needed. Even Apple’s website doesn’t mention this.
@safwaan Hey its been a long time since I updated my apple watch, few years maybe; I did everything including pressing the digital crown, but its not working it just goes back to home screen; is there any other methods?
Thank you so much brother you get it, direct to the point, not wasting peoples time, basically these kind of RUclipsrs is what this worlds needs jaja thanks again 👊
Helped me this morning when my Series 6 40mm arrived! Had to cop it with the Nike Sports Loop, off your recommendation & I'm absolutely loving it! That, and this channel's quality. Thanks for the video!
if it’s still not working and pressing the crown sends you back to the home screen: push down the power button and wait for it to prompt you to power off ur watch, then press firmly on the screen of your watch and it should pop up within a few seconds!!
Omg thank you thank you thank you omg I’m so freaking happy now I got a new iPhone and my old Apple Watch couldn’t figure out the passcode to get in it and you made my night thank you so much ❤❤❤❤❤
mine is apple watch series 2, I did all you said but when I press the crown its not going to reset mode but just going back to normal screen, will u be able to help me how to fix this ?
@@TordNilsson1974 Okay. I figured it out. My crown didn't work, but when you get to the screen that shows the sliders for powering off/SOS/etc. press and briefly hold harder than a tap on the "power off" slider on the screen. Once you release that, it'll show the restore screen.
How come mine just goes blurred when I hold the power button and doesn’t pop up the power off options until I let go of the power button, then when I click the crown, nothing happens at all..?

Does this erase everything on the watch?
I haven’t been able to find a video like this for over a YEAR! Saved me SO MUCH MONEY
This doesn't work with Series 1. After pressing digital crown for a second 'Too Many Passcode Attempts' appears again. Please help 😭
I’m stuck with the same thing 😭

Ok well apple does say it, but their wording seems like a suggestion Lol

I had the exact same problem. Thanks for saving the day. If RUclips ever decides to award a video as the best video on RUclips, I will vote for this.
Thank u!!!! I spent hours trying to figure it out but did it in two minutes after this video

Wrapped this video up less than a min. Thank you for giving up the quick tip🎉
Thank you this is how content should be
Awesome video. Less than a minute. Took me longer to write this comment than it did for me to watch the video 👌🏾
if it’s still not working and pressing the crown sends you back to the home screen: push down the power button and wait for it to prompt you to power off ur watch, then press firmly on the screen of your watch and it should pop up within a few seconds!!
THANKS! It always seems like stuff should be this easy, but rarely is. This time it was. Thanks again.
Straight to the point. I find it quite useful
Perfect video, straight to the point and accurate!
Omg thank you thank you thank you omg I’m so freaking happy now I got a new iPhone and my old Apple Watch couldn’t figure out the passcode to get in it and you made my night thank you so much ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you phew. After months of struggling 0:51
same here
omg thank you so much i spent hours researching till i found this
thanks! had watch in my pocket and apparently it was activating the screen. any way to prevent this? can you lock the touch screen?
Your watch should lock automatically once you take it off your wrist
mine is apple watch series 2, I did all you said but when I press the crown its not going to reset mode but just going back to normal screen, will u be able to help me how to fix this ?
I have the same problem. The reset watch dialoge does not show up
@@TordNilsson1974 Did you ever get this fixed? I'm having the same issue.
@ the below answer gave me the solution
@@TordNilsson1974 Okay. I figured it out. My crown didn't work, but when you get to the screen that shows the sliders for powering off/SOS/etc. press and briefly hold harder than a tap on the "power off" slider on the screen. Once you release that, it'll show the restore screen.
An actual helpful video without a load of waffle
So what about the data? Does Apple Watch save the data or the way apps are organised? Or does it reset like a complete new Apple Watch?
It doesn’t save the data, you have to restore from latest backup
Never comment on videos. But thank you, simple video, straight to the point. 👍🏼
You made my life so much easier
For reasons when I press the crown button it doesn’t give me “reset” option ,just switching back to clocks . And it’s not paired with my iPhone
Did you find out how to fix this issue, mine will only allow the “power off” when not on the charger so the other method doesn’t work for me.
So helpful thank you sir
Finally short video thank you 🙏
I can't do it! When I press and hold the crown bottom or the power off nothing happens! Help! 😞
I'm having the same problem
Totally worked. I haven’t used my watch for a year at least… clueless on the reset 😂
Short and great , very helpful
😮Now I’m impressed this was so quick I never had a chance to blink
Bro, thank you so much, straightforward and simple, keep up the good work my friend 🔥

You're a life saver. TO THE POINT video and perfectly explained.
really help-full, i didn’t know how to reset it. Thanks
YES THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FORRRRRR
How come mine just goes blurred when I hold the power button and doesn’t pop up the power off options until I let go of the power button, then when I click the crown, nothing happens at all..?
