Apple ID password reset

Hello. I have forgotten my apple ID and now I am not able to reset it through the instruction explained in website (AppleIDForgotten) because I used virtual phone number and address due to not supporting Apple in my region. How can I reset it?

You may find you cannot because the things you were using to circumvent Apple's account requirements may prevent you from receiving essential communications allowing you to reset your password.
