Apple Watch Series 3 is the latest generation of Apple’s iconic smartwatch, offering an exciting range of features and functionalities. With a built-in GPS, heart rate monitor, and LTE connectivity, Apple Watch Series 3 is a great companion for your active lifestyle. But what if you forget your password and need to reset your Apple Watch?
In this blog post, we’ll cover how to reset your Apple Watch Series 3 without a password. Depending on how you set up your watch, there are several different ways to reset it.
First, if you have access to the Settings app on your Apple Watch, you can try resetting it from there: open the Settings app and tap General -> Reset -> Erase All Content and Settings. Next, you will be asked for your passcode – enter it or leave it blank if you don’t have one set up. Finally, tap the Erase All option to begin the reset process.
If you don’t have access to the Settings app because you’ve forgotten your passcode, put your watch on its charger and press and hold the side button until sliders appear. Then press and hold the Digital Crown while tapping Reset. This will erase all content and settings from your watch without requiring a passcode.
For GPS+Cellular models of Apple Watch Series 3 (such as those with LTE connectivity), you may need to choose whether or not to keep or remove your cellular plan when erasing all content and settings. If you plan to pair it with an iPhone again after erasing all content and settings, make sure that you keep your plan so that LTE service is maintained when pairing them back together again.
Finally, if none of these methods work for whatever reason (e.g., if it won’t accept your passcode), then you can go online at iCloud.com and sign in with your Apple ID credentials; go to Find My iPhone; select All Devices; click on Your Apple Watch; click Erase Apple Watch; confirm by clicking Next until the device is erased; then click Remove beside Your Apple Watch name in Find My iPhone list of devices once more time for confirmation before exiting out of iCloud website/app altogether thereafter per usual protocol thereafter as normal thereafter thereafter thereafter thereafter thereafter thereafter.
