So my watch is in activation lock. My phone it is connected to broke and I can’t turn off activation lock as I don’t know the Apple ID password or email. What can I do about this?

How can I fix an Apple Watch in activation lock without knowing Apple ID password and can’t change it?

2 things you can do


You can start an account recovery request to request access to your old Apple ID: How to use account recovery when you can’t reset your Apple ID password - Apple Support


Or, if you're the original owner of the watch and have valid proof of purchase information you can start an Activation Lock support request.
