I don't know Apple ID

I bought a watch on Ebay, but when I turn it on, it asks for my Apple ID, which I don't have, how can I solve this!?

Typically an Apple ID is an email address you have used. If you are currently using a mobile device that is logged into your account, go to Settings and tap your name at the top.

If you still need help:

Contact Apple for help with Apple ID account security "This article provides country-specific Apple Support contact information for customers seeking help with their Apple ID password or other security-related issues."

Also look in Keychain, and in a browser's security settings if you use it to automatically sign into Apple when using a browser.



That said, was it asking for your ID, or the ID of the previous owner? If the latter, read About Activation Lock on your Apple Watch - Apple Support
