Can I get some help with my Apple Watch? I do not remember the password cannot connect it to my phone.

I am trying to sign in to my watch, but it doesn’t let me cause I don’t know the original password I want to restart it

Activation Lock is designed to prevent anyone else from using an Apple Watch if it's ever lost or stolen.

Activation Lock is an anti-theft feature that cannot be bypassed. Only the previous owner can remove the lock by using their Apple ID & password. Apple will not help you find the previous owner. If the previous owner cannot or will not remove the lock, then the watch is useless to you or anyone else.
