Don’t have the old Apple ID or password to pair my Apple Watch to my phone

I bought an iPhone watch off somebody. I tried pairing it to my phone and it won’t let me hear it because I don’t have the old password for Apple ID. I asked the kids what is it he says he doesn’t know because used to be his cousins that died, so what do I do?

The person that you bought/got this watch from needs to follow all the steps on this page;

Remove the Activation Lock so that the buyer can use it.

If they can't or won't then get your money back or recycle the watch and mark it down as a bad experience.

Neither the users on this forum or Apple can help you,only the original owner can help you.
