Hi there Marier_vega,
You need the information below to pair your Apple Watch with a different iPhone than the one it's currently paired with:
Here's what you need
* Your Apple ID and password (so you can turn off Activation Lock)
* Your old and new iPhone both need to be connected to Wi-Fi
* Your Apple Watch and iPhone both need to be at least 50 percent charged
* Your Apple Watch passcode (get help if you forgot your passcode)
Learn more about that here: How to pair your Apple Watch with a new iPhone - Apple Support
If you forgot your Apple ID password, you can try to reset it with the steps in this support article: If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
If you forgot your Apple Watch passcode, the steps in this link will help you reset it: If you forgot your Apple Watch passcode - Apple Support
Take care.

This Apple article has instructions for what to do if you have forgotten your Apple account password —> If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
or go directly to this link —> http://iforgot.apple.com/
If you didn't receive your verification or reset email, read this Apple Support article: If you didn't receive your verification or reset email - Apple Support
"When you make certain updates to your Apple ID, we’ll send you an email to help you complete the update. For example, you might have reset your password, reset your security questions, or added a new email address to your account."
If you find you can’t sign in, reset your password, or receive verification codes, you can request account recovery (read this support article: How to use account recovery when you can’t reset your Apple ID password - Apple Support ) to regain access to your account. Account recovery might take a few days or longer, depending on the specific account information you can provide to verify your identity.
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." —> Contact Apple for help with Apple ID account security - Apple Support
