  • Was this new Apple Watch purchased from a third party?
  • Was it previously paired to her iPhone before? A new Apple Watch will not have any Apple ID associated with it until paired for the first time and the Apple ID will be that of the iPhone it is paired to and visible at Settings > [name on top], of that iPhone. Once you have that Apple ID email from her phone, you can reset the Password for that Apple ID here if she does not know what the password for it is:
