apple watch

My daughter has an apple watch that was initially paired to her iphone. That iphone has now been destroyed and she can't remember any of the email addresses or passwords from that phone. We now can't pair the watch with her new phone - any help with this would be appreciated

go to How to pair your Apple Watch with a new iPhone - Apple Support (IE)


scroll to "If you don't have your old iPhone or you erased it"


if it's activation locked then


the activation lock is not really on the watch it's a theft protection measure on apples servers


it needs to be removed
