Third party email access lost

Related to change of AppleID: What if someone has forgotten completely the password for their third party email and there is no chance to recover access to that account since security questions for third party email, were also randomly defined and answers are not found and cannot confirm verification code? is there any chance to change apple ID in such condition or by any other method of verifications?

By all accounts, as described, you’ve potentially created a problem for yourself.


If you have forgotten your AppleID and associated password, they can be recovered here:

https://iforgot.apple.com


To recover your credentials, you’ll need access to any one of the following:

  • Your primary email address mailbox that corresponds with your AppleID
  • Any of the secondary/recovery email addresses that should be configured for your AppleID account
  • Any of the trusted telephone numbers (fixed line or Cellular/Mobile) that are associated with your AppleID


Unless you AppleID account has not been fully/correctly configured, or has been seriously neglected, recovery of the AppleID and password should not be difficult.
