Apple watch was gifted to me after a death in the family. Is there anyway to unlock watch without knowing the apple ID or password ?

Apple says:
"While we may also be able to help remove Activation Lock from devices that use your loved one’s original Apple ID, their iPhone, iPod, and iPad will need to be restored to factory settings before they can be used with another Apple ID. Please note that devices locked with a passcode are protected by passcode encryption, and Apple can't help remove the passcode lock without erasing the device."
