Sign In to my Apple ID

Hello there, I am using Iphone 4s since 2013. Suddenly I am stuck with my iphone which is indicating itunes sign when I want to power on. Now I want to restore my iphone to the last version, but I forgot my apple ID password and reset the password well. but now they are asking me the security questions which I forgot. Now what can I do to sign in to my Apple ID again and recover my date safely after.


Please advice


Thanking you

If you are being told there isn't enough information to reset them, contact Apple ID Support.


If you don't know the answers, if the steps in the article below don’t work, contact Apple ID Support, although based on multiple posts I have read, they will not help you recover the answers to your security questions.

 See If you forgot the answers to your Apple ID security questions https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201485. Apple has precluded you from resetting them in you Apple ID account and, thus, has notified you that you cannot answer them satisfactorily. 

 

So see Security and your Apple ID https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201303. This document says “without proof of your identity via security questions and other carefully selected criteria, Apple Support can't help you reset a password or perform any other actions on your account.”

 

Thus, Apple’s notification, we can do nothing to help you, except to mention that Apple support might help you if you have an extenuating circumstance (e.g., you have your receipt for your purchase of a pertinent device from an authorized Apple seller with its serial number on it). If you want to contact Apple Support to discuss any possible extenuating circumstance, see the support options below. Alternatively, if an Apple Store is open in your area, then you can go there to deal with your extenuating circumstance. You also can make a genius-bar appointment (https://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/) if you want.
