Hi AmandaGJ,

Welcome to the Apple Community, where some of us do our best to help each other.


Your Apple ID is the account you use to access Apple services,

such as the App Store, Apple Music, iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime and more.


If you forgot your password or Apple ID, go to your Apple ID account page,

select “Forgot Apple ID or password?” then follow the instructions.

Or

If you have changed your Apple ID or password lately you might need to update your sign-in information with any Apple services that you're using. The support page below can help in this situation:
