The Recovery Process is an automated process and length of time it takes can vary a lot. Apple ID Support can only answer your questions. They can't intervene in or speed up the process. The article below has some suggestions to shorten the the time the process takes.

Did you read the article I posted a link to?


If you're unsuccessful using any of these methods, go to appleid.apple.com and choose Forgot Apple ID or password. Provide as much information as you can, then start the account recovery waiting period. We know this delay is inconvenient, but it's important so that we can keep your account and information safe.


If necessary, there is a contact link.

Further to my posts yesterday, I have restored the I pad through I tunes erasing everything. However when it begins to set up again it has activation lock due to find my I pad being enabled on it. It still says the I pad is locked. How long will it stay locked for is it 24 hrs ? I think we now have the correct password to get in it once it is not disabled anymore. If it stays disabled will I need take it to Apple shop. Thank you
