How to Recover a Lost Apple ID Account (Step-by-Step Guide)
By AOP3D TECH
Forgetting your Apple ID password—or worse, the entire account—can be frustrating. Whether you’re locked out of your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, don’t panic. Apple has built-in tools to help you recover access, and this guide will walk you through the process, step by step.
Step 1: Head to Apple’s Recovery Page
Start by visiting Apple’s official recovery website:
This is the safest and most direct way to start the recovery process.
Step 2: Enter Your Apple ID (Email Address)
Type in the email address associated with your Apple ID.
Not sure which one it is? Click “look it up” on the page and follow the prompts to find it using your name and phone number.
Step 3: Follow the On-Screen Steps
Apple will now try to confirm your identity. Depending on your security settings, you might need to:
- Answer your security questions
- Receive a verification code on your trusted phone number
- Approve the sign-in from a trusted device using Face ID or Touch ID
Make sure to follow these steps carefully. If you don’t have access to a trusted device or number, Apple may initiate a longer account recovery process.
Step 4: Reset Your Password
Once you’ve verified your identity, you’ll be asked to create a new password.
Choose a secure one, ideally something unique and hard to guess—but easy for you to remember.
Step 5: Sign Back Into Your Devices
Now that your password is updated, go ahead and sign in again on your:
- iPhone / iPad
- Mac or MacBook
- iCloud.com
- Apple Music, iMessage, FaceTime, etc.
You may be asked to update the password on each device individually.
What If You Can’t Verify Your Identity?
If you don’t have access to your trusted phone number or device, Apple will begin an account recovery process, which can take several days. You’ll receive a confirmation via email or text when your account is ready to reset.
Need More Help?
If you’re still having trouble, consider these extra options:
- Contact Apple Support: You can speak with a representative who may be able to assist further.
- Visit an Apple Store: Bring proof of purchase (like a receipt) to verify ownership of the device.
