This Apple ID is either not valid or not supported

I have Iphone 11 Pro. I forget my APPLE ID password and can't reset it. Now when I tried to log in from "https://iforgot.apple.com/password/verify/appleid" I get this message: This Apple ID is either not valid or not supported

iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 14

I have contacted support a couple of times, first-time agent got me engaged for 30 mins and he didn't have any solution with him, eventually, he assigned me a Case Id and said when you will call in the future share this.

Second time I called agent, and told her my Case Id, call got hanged and agent disappeared


It was sort of frustrating to contact support.


I simply want to know, what exactly this error is: "This Apple ID is either not valid or not supported" , as all support articles I had visited ask for Apple Id, unfortunately, my Apple ID isn't getting recognized and the message isn't clear at the same time. If I try creating a new account with the same id, it says this id not available.

In my last contact with APPLE support, they shared the link where if I have the purchase invoice I can upload that and they will unlock my device. Unfortunately, I didn't have an invoice with me, I tried contacting the store from where I purchased the mobile, they told me they don't have such a policy to share a copy of the invoice.


The frustrating thing for me is: The Gmail id set up on my iPhone belongs to me, but unfortunately there is no step forward as I always get this msg "This Apple ID is either not valid or not supported" , strange to see that I still haven't get the answer what exactly this message means.
