How do I pair watch without the Apple account, phone, and lock activation code?

my daughter has a Series 3 watch that we were trying to set up and pair to a new phone. Problem is we don’t know the Apple account, email, ID, or lock activation code since she’s had this for a few years and just found it. So how can I erase and redo it all not knowing any of the information.

activation lock is not a thing on the watch it's a theft protection on apples servers


it needs to be removed About Activation Lock on your Apple Watch - Apple Support
