How can I reset an Apple Watch completely ? I bought my watch second hand and they don’t remember their password or Apple ID
Apple Watch
See if they can recover the ID/password. Use every email address they can think of.
Apple ID - How to find your Apple - An iCloud e-mail address is an Apple ID.
If they forgot the Apple ID (iCloud) password, enter the Apple (iCloud) ID, and click Forgot Password. See if they can get a Rescue or Notification email option if necessary. Link to contact Apple Support at the end of the 2nd article.
If necessary, if they are the original owner, have them contact Apple. Apple can remove the ID if provided the required paperwork to include the original purchase receipt with the serial number on it.
Request additional support for unlocking your device. -
You used to be able to take the device, the original purchase receipt with the serial number, and a photo ID to the nearest Apple Store (if it has reopened) and have them remove the ID. This may have changed, so call the store before going to make sure they can help.
Return it and ask for your money back. It needs to be unlocked by the previous owner or it will be useless.
