While attempting to pair Apple Watch I get to this point where is ask : To unlock this Apple Watch, enter the Apple ID and password that were used during setup. Then then partial email that appears to be attached I do not have access to and no longer is my current Apple ID or PSW. How do I pair my watch without the original Apple ID from when I first got/set up phone ?
iPhone 12, iOS 16
Hello Jaz1357,
It sounds like you're seeing Activation Lock on your iPhone. To remove Activation Lock you'll need to know the Apple ID and password. You can learn more about Activation Lock on your Apple Watch here: About Activation Lock on your Apple Watch - Apple Support
If you do not know the Apple ID and password, you can request Activation Lock removal here: Activation Lock - Support
Keep in mind, it's recommend to only have one Apple ID to avoid issues like this. If you get a new email address, you dont need to create a new Apple ID, you can simple update it with the new email address. For more information, check this out: Change your Apple ID - Apple Support
Thanks.
