Forgot the passcode for the Apple Watch (the "screen password") not a major problem, please see If you forgot your Apple Watch passcode - Apple Support
Forgot the password for the Apple ID (iCloud) account which secures the device with Activation Lock? Big problem, if you can't demonstrate you are the real owner you may not be able to get it reset. https://iforgot.apple.com/
