Error messages:

- Cannot reset password

- This Apple ID is either not valid or not supported.


There is no Apple Support document specifically addressing these messages that I can find but these links have been Recommended by Apple ( https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7417834 ) and others with this problem:


If your Apple ID is locked or disabled --> https://support.apple.com/HT204106


Contact Apple for help with Apple ID security --> https://support.apple.com/HT204169


Typically an Apple ID is an email address you have used.
