I says to unlock it

Jahed Torres

What do you mean? Where exactly does it say that?

Customer Replay

on the iphone screen: "Unlock Apple Watch..."

Jahed Torres

Can you, please, tap it?
Did you follow my instructions, *****?

Customer Replay

Tap what, please? Yes, but I didn't find a Change Passcode entry.
Got the phone just yesterday

Jahed Torres

Okay, let's try this way.

Put your watch on its charger and keep it there until you complete these steps.
Press and hold the side button until you see the power button in the upper-right corner of the display.
Press and hold the Digital Crown until you see Erase all content and settings.
Tap Reset, then tap Reset again to confirm.
Wait for the process to finish, then set up your Apple Watch again. When asked, restore from a backup.

Never mind--it accepted the original passcode after I charged it. Thanks anyway.
