My apple watch is locked and not paired with my...

My apple watch is locked. I know the passcode but I get an error message to reset it. It had been paired to an old iPhone which I no longer have. I cannot pair it with my new phone. I cannot access any general on the phone app. I cannot do anything! Why does Apple do this!!! Help

Hi

Follow these steps to erase your locked watch and pair it with your new iPhone:

• Connect your watch to its charging cable, with power connected.
• Press and hold the side button until you see the Power Off slider.
• Press firmly on Power Off (do not try to slide it - just press down more firmly than a normal tap) and then tap on Erase all content and settings.
• Pair your watch using the Watch app, choosing to Restore from Backup if offered the option.

If you forgot the passcode for your Apple Watch - Apple Support

Thanks Jonathan! This did the trick!   I wish Apple would makes solitikms a little more intuitive or at least easy to discover before frustration sets in! Appreciate your help!

Follow the instructions in my previous reply (do not try to slide the Power Off slider).

Perfect! This worked very quickly. Thank you for giving really good, easy to follow instructions. You took a few years of stress off of me. Lol.

Glad to have helped!

Hi Jonathan,

i tried to follow the instructions, but after pressing and holding the side button, the power off slider shows up with gray color (inactive). ii tried to press firmly but nothing happens (pressing for 10 to 20 seconds, isnt enough)?

when i remove the iwatch from the cable the power off becomes active (white and orange color) but again no response when i hold it for the same aforementioned period.

how can i reset it my watch please.

Hi

When following the steps in my previous reply (being sure to keep your Apple Watch on the charger and connected to power - the steps do not work otherwise), press firmly on the screen and then remove your finger. The button for "Erase all content and settings" should then be shown.

I have a new phone and forgot my password to my Apple Watch. Now it's locked and I don't know how to unlock it to pair it with my new phone.
