Good day, how can I unlock an activation code considering that I forgot my Apple ID and password

my i watch was then connected to an iPhone X. Subsequently, I purchased another phone of the same brand. now, I wish to connect my watch to my new phone, however could not do so because it needs to unlock an activation code which was previously incorporated on the old phone. How can I unlock considering that I could no longer remember my Apple ID and password?

The best solution is to recover/reset your information so you have both the account and the device back in working order.
