Locked Apple ID

For the past few days I have been trying to update a few apps but it says that I can’t because my Apple ID is locked. I have been using a different Apple ID to the one that is locked for a while now and when I try to unlock the first Apple ID it says that it will send an email with instructions, but the email entered isn’t mine. What can I do to unlock that Apple ID? (I also don’t remember the answer to one of my security questions so that alternative is unfortunately not available).

iPhone XS, iOS 13

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.
