Forgot Everything

My brother’s apple id has been forgotten so with everything he had put into security including password, email, and phone number used. How can he recover his account when he even forgot the security questions he wrote?

See if he can recover the ID/password.

Enter the Apple (iCloud) ID and click Forgot Password.

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


If he doesn'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 him recover the answers to his security questions.
