Apple watch Activation lock.

My wife has forgotten her activation code on her Apple watch. I have tried to reset but i keep getting the prompt for code. I purchased her anew watch for Christmas and have paired the new one. it is unreasonable for me to think there is not a way to reset the old watch since it is still in great shape. Please help?
