Need help reassigning Apple Watch

A couple years ago, I purchased a new iPhone and stopped wearing my Apple Watch for awhile. After retiring, I changed my email. I'm trying to give the watch to my daughter, but it still wants to use the old email and can't remember the password. I no longer have access to the old email. Can it be hard reset to factory settings. Help!

Activation Lock is an anti-theft feature that cannot be bypassed. If you are the ORIGINAL owner of the watch, then see the 'Start a support request' section in:
