Restore Apple Watch to Factory Settings (Without Passcode) 

Took me 2 mins watching your video. I was about to order another watch!!! Thank you!!

It’s 11:56 PM CST and I’ve literally been trying to follow Apple support instructions and watch other factory reset videos. 😢 Your video was the EXACT one that I needed to reset it. It was SOOOO simple too! Thank you 🙏🏽

Thank you so much. Watched a few videos and I just didn't get it lol. You saved my life❤

If you have an older watch instead of holding down the screen press and hold the dial on the side of the watch.

THANK U SO MUCH U R THE BEST U JUST GAINED A LIKE

Hey, I’ve tried holding it down doing the force touch and it doesn’t give me the option to erase all content ??

Thank you!!! You’re way is the only way that worked for me😅. Appreciate the video!

This is the video I was looking for!!

Didn't you say without password.

mine doesn’t come up with the menus please help !

I thought this wasn’t working cos I wasn’t getting the “restore to factory settings” message. But when i removed my finger to try the force touch again the message popped up! Thanks for this

entered the wrong PW too many times and couldn't get anywhere with resetting it.... until I found this :-) it's resetting now. Thanks so much!

Amount of people that are here because they have a stolen watch, trying to unlock.

Just found an Apple Watch at my job on the floor and held it ALL day, nobody claimed. Mine now 🤷🏻‍♀️

You’re awesome! Thanks for the advise..saved me $200!

BRUH I FOUND MY DADS OLD APPLE WATCH AND O WANTED TO USE IT BUT WAS AFRAID HE WONT LET ME IF I ASK HIM FOR THE PASSWORD AND THIS VIDEO HELPED SO MUCH I LOVE U HOLY SHIT

Thank you 🙏

Thank you Brandon. This was so helpful. Was able to reset my watch in less than a minute.

Thank you!

Awesome... This worked for an old Apple Watch that hasn't been used for years and passcode was forgotten

Thanks!

Thank you *TECH OLIVA*

Omg thank you!!

You made that so easy

THANK YOU

For a series 5 watch instead of a forced touch hold down the Digital Crown instead.

Thank you

This was helpful unlike the apple support that said tap the crown after the first step. By the way, the false tap will reveal the Erase faster when you try to move your finger

It Worked!

Does this clear i cloud as well? Cause mine is locked and i don’t remember my password let alone the email

You know it's 2015 when you hear "What's up guys" or "Hey guys" 😂🤣💀

I found a iwatch.Can reset the watch?Does the previous owner track the watch still?

I appreciate thus genius *Tech oliva*

*I never knew that there was still good hearted people like COMPUTECHFIRM* ..

Thank you, you just saved me😂😂

Highly appreciate great TECH OLIVA

THANK YOU SO MUCH OH MY GOD

Thank you I reset my watch and the seconds

Still relevant in 2020, thank you

Apple's own webpage says to press the crown, but it didn't work. This method of pressing the screen works👍

Activation unlock perfect

For anyone else with a newer model watch, instead of the Force Touch you hold the side button instead.

If this doesn't work, hold both side buttons, when the apple logo comes up release them and hold the side button until the reset option comes up. For some reason this worked while the advice in the video did not.

8 years later you still bossin it

Apple watch 6 series some measures to forget apple I'd missing mobile that was previously paired

This allowed a factory reset of the app watch and a pairing to a new phone but now wants the Apple ID and password of original user. I found this watch and the user but after a year they wouldn't pick up the device. I thought by factory resetting it would allow connection to another Apple ID. Am I missing something?

thanks bubba

Writing to inquire... Have tried this method with no success with the Apple Watch 4. Could there be a different path with this model? Guidance sought

Will this reset find my iphone or watch

How do I reset or unpair from the previous iPhone when I don’t have the phone anymore

I’m going too when I get home

Can someone please explain why this doesn’t work for me

Ok

THHHANNNNKKKK YYOUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have an Apple Watch 2 and it won’t reset like it says. I have forgotten my passcode and tried wat you show and it won’t force touch

Hello, we have the 3 and my daughter broke her phone and tried to log into the appke watch and forgot password. We went to jer yahoo accoi t to get pw sent and because she never ised the accoint ot shut down. So how in the world are we going to get into this qpple watch?

My nephew locked his watch. Performed a reset but won’t let him repair it with his phone. Any ideas?

How can I reset it if the screen is cracked?

It didn’t work on the s3

I’ve tried this and doesn’t show up that setting the erase all content and settings it’s an apple watch 5

What I do when it doesn’t Force Touch?

I can’t get Force touch to work

there is no general setting here what should i do?

It doesn’t work for mine there was no power preserve button

i have a dumb question i think someone have an answer to but let me break down my issue real quick, i recently found an apple watch series 4 but it had a passcode on it i chose to factory reset it and NOW IT IS ACTIVATION LOCKED!!! lol i think i found a video that can help me get thru the passcode situation so now i want to know... how can i get back to the passcode screen and is it possible?

Whata bout series 3? I did it with the way I need to but when restoring it comes again to block screen.

and everything is deleted, also the apple id?

MY apple watch series 2 suddenly shows `Too many passcode attempts Reset Apple Watch and pair again`. I am unable to go to any other screen except the clock. How to reset ? I have unpaired from my other Aplle devices.

mine did not work

👆👆👆 Thanks for your help sir I really appreciate you

AHo...

Press down HARDSD

I hardly understand the features of my series 5 iwatch I got from a friend some weeks ago only for me to realized that it has icloud on it when I wanted to put my info and take off the previous owner’s info but I’m glad I sent a message to -|-1 2:03 9:16 9 0:26 by WA and he fixing it

👍

So much thanks to *Solution Officials* they unlocked my series 6 permanently.

Aka “How to steal someone else’s Apple Watch” smh 🤦‍♀️
