again. If you still can’t remember your passcode, you can restore Apple Watch and reset the
passcode. Restoring erases the content and settings on Apple Watch, but uses a backup to
replace your data and settings. For more information, see Update Apple Watch software, below.
Important: If Erase Data is turned on, the data on your Apple Watch is erased after 10 failed
passcode attempts.
