Your Apple ID is the account you use to sign in to all Apple services. If you forgot your Apple ID or aren't sure you have one, there are a few ways to find it. You can also reset your password to regain access.
Aug 14, 2020 To reset your password using the Apple Support app on a friend or family member's iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 12 or later, the device owner will need to download the Apple Support app. Ask the device owner to open the App Store on their iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, then search for Apple Support and download the app. Sep 01, 2012 I was advised that my Apple ID password had been reset. When I went into System Preferences, though, and tried to set my Apple ID - my new password was ‘incorrect’. To ‘Change password’, I need to know the old password – which I don’t. Also, the lock is shut and I can’t click it open ‘to make changes’.
