Forgot Icloud Password

Hi,

When I reset my icloud password, Apple told me that the reset code would be sent to email. But I've created the new icloud email when created this icloud ID. So my email password (...@icloud.com) is the same with ID password, which is lost :). Therefore, I couldnt access to icloud email to get the code.

There is another option that Apple would send reset code to my phone number. Apple told me that they need 2 days to verify my account but after 2 days, there is nothing happens!!

Please help :(

You’re describing account recovery. Account recovery is a two phase process once started. Phase 1 is the evaluation period, the / day message you got.


Once phase 1 is done it enters phase 2 where https://iforgot.apple.com/password/verify/appleid will give you the final amount of days (can be weeks) you’ll wait. On that final day you’ll get a text, follow that text immediately.
