If you've tried all the passwords you think might be correct and you still can't sign in, you need to reset your Apple ID password. Here's how to do it using the Apple website (if you have two-factor authentication set up on your Apple ID, skip these instructions and go to the next section):
• In your browser, go to iforgot.apple.com.
• Enter your Apple ID username, then click Continue.
• Reset your Apple ID password with two-factor authentication
• There are two ways to reset your password: by using the recovery email address you have on file for your account or by answering your security questions. Make your choice and click Continue.
• If you choose Receive an email, verify the email account displayed on the screen, then enter the email verification code and click Continue. Now skip to step 7.
• If you choose Answer security questions, start by entering your date of birth, then answer two of your security questions and click Continue.
• Enter your new Apple ID password. The password must be 8 or more characters, include upper and lower case letters, and have at least one number. The Strength indicator shows how secure the password you choose is.
• When you're happy with your new password, click Reset Password to make the change.
Resetting your Apple ID password requires more steps if you use two-
factor authentication to provide an extra layer of security. Then:
• Follow the first two steps of the instructions above.
• Next, confirm your trusted phone number. Enter the number and click Continue.
• A screen will appear prompting you to verify your trusted devices.
• On one of your trusted devices, a password reset pop-up appears. Click or tap Allow.
• Enter the device password.
• Then enter your new Apple ID password, enter it a second time to verify it, and tap Next to change your password.
