My best friend gave me her Apple watch SE. She reset it back to factory reset. I can't set it up, it pops up the area for her email and password Can someone offer me suggestions please.

How can I set up my apple watch SE? My friend gave me her watch and did a factory reset. It's wiped clean. When I try to sync and set it up it asks for her email and password information. How do I over ride that and enter my information. Thank you so much for any help.
