How to reset my locked apple watch? Without my old phone

Hi I just found my wife’s first gen Apple Watch and I just wonder that I may use it for my gym.

But the problem is it’s locked and my wife forget its password already since it is very long time hadn’t been use. Also she was upgrade her phone to the new one. By the way she still use the same Apple ID and it brought under my wife name. So can I do something to make it work again?
