Hello, I am trying to pair my old Apple Watch to my new phone. I no longer have access to my old Apple ID, phone, or phone number that my watch was connected to, hence it is in activation lock. Does anyone know how to bypass/jailbreak it?? Thank you!

No one knows how to bypass activation lock.

You always have access to your old AppleID, just go to the Apple website and recover it.

Activation lock cannot be bypassed

Here is a suggestion, since it is your watch, take the watch and the purchase receipt into an Apple store, then can help recover it

Unfortunately don’t have the receipt because I got it as a Christmas gift in 2018. Also unable to recover my Apple ID because I had 2FA and a recovery phrase for it
