1587. Resetting Your AppleID Password

I am in rel trouble now. I can't remember my password for my ApplID on my iPhone and iPad. I can't download any applications and I can't get any updates. How can I reset my AppleID and password so I can get back to work using my devices?

Fortunately Apple has thought you might forget your ID Ken and they put together a good solid procedure to gain back your Apple access. We have detail instructions on our website. But I will do a quick walk through.

1. Go to My Apple ID and select Reset your password.
   
2. Enter your Apple ID, then click Next. If you don't remember your Apple ID or email address, choose Forgot your Apple ID.
   
3. After you enter your Apple ID, there are three ways you can change your password:
   • Answer your security questions. Use these steps if you know the answers to your security questions.
   • Use email authentication. We'll send you an email that you can use to change your password.
   • Use two-step verification. If you set up two-step verification, you can use it to change your password. You just need your recovery key and a trusted device.

Answer your security questions

1. Select “Answer security questions,” then click Next.
2. Select your birth date, then click Next.
3. Answer your security questions.
4. Set a new password and select Reset Password.

Use email authentication

1. Select Email authentication, then click Next. Apple will send the email to your primary or rescue email address.
2. Open the email and select the link to change your password.
3. When the My Apple ID page opens, set a new password and select Reset Password.

Use these steps if you didn't get the email or can't find it.

Use two-step verification

1. Enter your Recovery Key.
2. Choose a trusted device. We'll send your device a verification code.
3. Enter the verification code.
4. Set a new password and select Reset Password.

If you permanently lost your recovery key or access to your trusted device, you can't change your password.
