If your Apple Watch Ultra 2 is entering random passwords without your input, here are steps you can take to address the issue:

Force Restart the Watch

1. Press and hold both the side button and the Digital Crown simultaneously for at least 10 seconds.

This can often resolve temporary glitches that cause erratic behavior.

Unpair and Reset the Watch

If restarting does not fix the problem, unpairing and resetting the watch may be necessary:

2. Open the Watch app on your paired iPhone.

3. Go to My Watch > All Watches, then tap the info button next to your watch.

4. Tap Unpair Apple Watch. You may need to enter your Apple ID password.

5. After unpairing, the watch will reset to factory settings.

6. Set it up again as a new watch or restore from a backup if available.

Update watchOS

Ensure your watch is running the latest version of watchOS, as updates often include bug fixes:

1. Open the Watch app on your iPhone.

2. Go to My Watch > General > Software Update.

3. Download and install any available updates.

Contact Apple Support

If the issue persists after these steps, contact Apple Support for further assistance. There may be a hardware issue that requires repair or replacement.

These steps should help mitigate the problem of your Apple Watch Ultra 2 entering random passwords.
