Don’t have the old Apple ID or password to pair my Apple Watch to my phone

I bought an iPhone watch off somebody. I tried pairing it to my phone and it won’t let me hear it because I don’t have the old password for Apple ID. I asked the kids what is it he says he doesn’t know because used to be his cousins that died, so what do I do?

Get your money back. The history of the watch sounds suspicious.

Any Apple device with activation lock still applied is totally useless to the buyer unless the original owner can be contacted.
