Apple ID reset password website not working

There is no problem with receiving the reset password e-mail. However, when I enter the new password on the site and click the "Reset Password" button, nothing happens. The link address is https://iforgot.apple.com...


I tried to log in after pressing the button but the new password doesn't take effect.


The link also doesn't appear to expire as old requests (links) seem to be entertained by the website.

Opera Browser        10.9 or higher


SeaMonkey      10.9 or higher8


Waterfox          10.8 or higher


Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. Please post back on whether or not this worked. Also try the Safe Mode. Please post back on whether or not this worked.
