How to make my Apple Watch work?

My brother let me have his Apple Watch for a gift, and he also disparo it but every time I go to connect my Apple Watch it says that it locked until the owner is there but my brother doesn’t remember the password for his Apple ID. ( we don’t live together)

Apple Watch Series 7

Hello,

You can follow this guide to reset your brother's Apple ID password. After, you can unlock and set up the Apple Watch.


Thanks for reaching out!

You brother can ask apple to remove the activation lock online on this page;

Online Activation Lock Removal Here.

Or this;

If he can't remember/gain access to the apple id that paired the watch to the phone.Take the watch and it's receipt with the serial number along with some photo id and any other proof of ownership to an Apple Store and request that they remove the Activation Lock for you.
