i need to reset a locked apple watch

How do I reset my locked apple watch? Someone used it and won't unpair the watch nor provide login information. I have proof (receipt), insurance from store where purchased (Walmart) and all of the original packaging. Please advise. Thank you.

Activation Lock is an anti-theft measure that cannot be bypassed. If the previous owner cannot or will not remove the lock, then the watch is useless to you or anyone else. Try to get a refund., Apple will not help you find the previous owner.
