I want to change the user from my apple watch but i don't know his password or how to connect with the old owner

I bought a apple watch second hand, but it has already another user ID and a password, how can i set it up to take the old user down because i cannot longer connect with the person who i have purchased the apple watch from.

You can't. Recycle it or turn it over to the police. It's useless.


Activation lock is an anti-theft system designed to make a lost or stolen device useless.

Either the seller did not properly prepare it for sale or you purchased a stolen watch.
