If you can't unlock the watch, it is worthless.


See if your friend can recover the ID/password.

Enter the Apple (iCloud) ID and click Forgot Password.

If they can't recover the ID/password, have them take the watch, the original purchase receipt with the serial number, and a photo ID to the nearest Apple Store.

or contact Apple ID Support. They will need to see the original purchase receipt/paperwork also.
