If I sold my watch to a stranger and I don’t want to share my Apple ID and Password, how can they set up the watch without it?

How can a new owner of a watch I sold to them set up the watch without my Apple ID and password. I don’t know this persona at all and I don’t want to share that info

Did you do these steps to prepare that device for sale before selling it? -> What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your Apple Watch, or buy one from someone else - Apple Support


If not, follow the steps in -> Unpair and erase your Apple Watch - Apple Support


You should never share your AppleID and password with anyone, so you’re wise to not do that. But it is also never necessary to do so.
