How to reset your Apple Watch if you forgot your passcode - erases all media, data and settings DIY

Device:
Watch amzn.to/3FRLMdS
Apple Watch series 7 midnight aluminum case with sport band 45mm GPS
The larger display enhances the entire experience, making Apple Watch easier to use and read. Series 7 represents our biggest and brightest thinking yet.
Physics be damned. The challenge was to create a bigger display while barely expanding the dimensions of the watch itself. To do so, the display was completely re‑engineered, reducing the borders by 40%, which allows for nearly 20% more screen area than Series 6. And over 50% more screen area than Series 3. That’s something to smile about.
Always-On Retina display. A brighter view of you. You don’t need to raise your wrist or touch the screen to see the time or other information and complications on your watch face, because the display is always on. And now it’s 70% brighter indoors when your wrist is down.
Measure your blood oxygen level with a revolutionary sensor and app. Take an ECG anytime, anywhere. Check your heart rate. Along with other innovations like mindfulness and sleep tracking to keep you healthy from head to toe. Series 7 puts more health insights in sight.
Measure your blood oxygen. It’s a breathtaking innovation. Your blood oxygen level is a key indicator of your overall wellness. It can help you understand how well your body is absorbing oxygen and the amount of oxygen delivered to your body. The remarkable sensor and app in Apple Watch Series 7 allow you to take on‑demand readings of your blood oxygen as well as background readings, day and night.
Take an ECG at any time. With the ECG app, Apple Watch Series 7 is capable of generating an ECG similar to a single-lead electrocardiogram. It’s a momentous achievement for a wearable device that can provide critical data for doctors and peace of mind for you.
Your finger can tell you a lot about your heart. Electrodes built into the Digital Crown and the back crystal work together with the ECG app to read your heart’s electrical signals. Simply touch the Digital Crown to generate an ECG waveform in just 30 seconds. The ECG app can indicate whether your heart rhythm shows signs of atrial fibrillation - a serious form of irregular heart rhythm - or sinus rhythm, which means your heart is beating in a normal pattern.

This is the third video I watched and it finally let me reset my watch using your steps. Thank You!

[@meganthecook]

Just want to say thank you for your help! You’re awesome! You face great details on how to do it. There were a few videos I watched, but they weren’t like you, giving detailed instructions is important when you’re doing a video like this. So thank you!
