How to Reset A Apple ID Password?

Forgetting your Apple ID password can be a frustrating experience, especially if you’re locked out of your iPhone or Mac. In this blog post, we will walk you through the steps of resetting your Apple ID password and getting back into your account. We’ll also share some tips and tricks to prevent this from happening in the future.

How to Reset A Apple ID Password?

Check Your Email Folders

The first step in resetting your Apple ID password is to check your email folders, including your junk, Spam, and Trash folders. Apple sends account recovery emails to the email address associated with your Apple ID, so it’s always worth checking these folders first.

Use a Trusted Apple Device

The biggest drawback to resetting your Apple ID password is that you’ll have to do it on all of your devices. However, if you use an Apple device that you don’t have access to, you can always use an Apple Support app to get the job done. In the event you do need to change your password, though, you’ll want to make sure you do it on the trusted Apple device that you own. Resetting your password on a borrowed or non-Apple device isn’t as simple as it sounds, and it can take you days to get back in the saddle.

Answer Security Questions

In addition to the aforementioned phone call, you’ll need to answer some nifty questions before you can get back in the game. These include the obvious, like your name and birthday, and some less-obvious stuff, like if you’re an American or a British citizen, and if you are married. Of course, if you’re the type to forget your password on the regular, you might not even be able to log in to your account.

Prove Your Identity

To prove that you have an Apple ID, you’ll need to answer the requisite questions. The answer to the question “what is an Apple ID?” should be “an account that allows you to sign in to iOS, Mac, or Windows-based devices, including iCloud.” After you’ve set up your account, you’ll need to set up a passcode on your trusted Apple device to get in. It’s also a good idea to set up a second Apple ID with a different phone number so you can easily retrieve your password in case your first attempt fails.

Check For Recent Emails

One final piece of advice: If you’re trying to bypass Apple ID on a new device, it’s not a bad idea to check for a recent email from Apple that contains a link to the password reset page. This is important because a new email from Apple might contain a verification code you need to enter on the trusted device.

Conclusion

Resetting your Apple ID password may seem like a daunting task, but by following the steps outlined in this blog post, you’ll be back in your account in no time. Remember to check your email folders, use a trusted Apple device, answer security questions, prove your identity and check for recent emails. And most importantly, don’t forget to set up a passcode and a secondary Apple ID to avoid this problem in the future.
