Apple Watch

I use to have an Apple ID which I don’t use anymore but it was still connected to my watch

i tried to change it to my new Apple ID so I reset my watch but now I have problems with the activation lock because I have forgotten my previous Apple ID password

please is there a way to bypass that?

May I suggest reviewing the Activation Lock article for Apple Watch to see if that helps you?


My understanding is that as long as you know the current password for your Apple ID, you can disable activation lock.


Failing that, you may need to get in touch with Apple Support who should be able to assist you further, however you may require some proof of purchase or ownership.
