Hello,
I recently got a new iPhone and I am trying to pair my Apple Watch but it is asking me to input old password that I do not have access to. I cannot bypass getting past the part where it is asking me to put an old password so I am unable to pair the watch to my phone. Can you assist with this?

Activation Lock is designed to prevent anyone else from using an Apple Watch if it's ever lost or stolen.
About Activation Lock on your Apple Watch - Apple Support
Activation Lock is an anti-theft feature that cannot be bypassed. Only the previous owner can remove the lock by using their Apple ID & password. Apple will not help you find the previous owner. If the previous owner cannot or will not remove the lock, then the watch is useless to you or anyone else.
If you are the ORIGINAL owner, then see the 'Start a support request' section in:
