Apple ID unlock

Hello, I have just restored my iPhone SE 1st generation and it's asking for the apple ID but it seems like the icloud account has been locked. Unfortunately, I do not remember the security questions but I do remember my old password and when I try to send the reset link to email, it sends it to the icloud mail which I have not access to.


Can you help me please? Thank you.

Thank you for your response. Unfortunately, I do not have the reset security questions when clicking on the link. It always shows that the account is locked and needs to be unlocked. I tried login into the icloud mail but whenever I do, it always tells me that the account is lock and then back to quarte one.
