My son gave me his Apple Watch and he has not used it for a year. Anyhow, he cannot remember password or anything? I cannot get my watch to reset?

My son gave me his Apple Watch since he now has a Garmin. He cannot remember password? So how do I get this to reset?

Chances are the watch is Activation Locked which is an anti-theft measure that cannot be bypassed.

There is nothing YOU can do. If HE still has the original receipt, HE may be able to get Apple to erase and reset the watch for HIM.
