Hi, My child forgot his password for his Apple ID. How do I reset the password. I am the organizer, but it doesn't allow me to change it.

You state this is a child. If you set up the account as part of setting up accounts for younger children through Family Sharing this special method may be available to you:


Family Sharing and Apple ID for your child - https://support.apple.com/HT201084

- "Your email address is the rescue email address for your child’s account, and you can use it with the security questions you provided to reset a forgotten password. You can keep your your child's account more secure with two-factor authentication."


If this is an older child you can go the more usual route for a forgotten password:
