Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities.


We understand that you want to unlock an Apple Watch.


Unlock Apple Watch when you unlock your iPhone: Open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone, tap My Watch, tap Passcode, then turn on Unlock with iPhone.

This and additional details can be found in Lock or unlock Apple Watch.


If you're referring to removing Activation Lock, this can be done in different ways depending on whether you have the Apple Watch in your possession.
