My step dad recently passed down his Apple Watch series 2 to me that he hasn't used in a while and I'm trying to set it up to my phone but there is an activation lock on it. Ive tried all the apple ids he's given me and nothing is working.

Only he can unlock it for you, so he must have used an Apple ID he doesn't recall.
