Change Apple ID email

I use a outlook Mail for my Apple ID. But when I try to change my

my Apple ID ( I type in my new email address) then I get a pop up.

asking for my password for my outlook Mail. For security

trouble is I forgot my password for outlook and having

trouble with Microsoft retrieving it.



iPad, iPadOS 15

It sounds like you'll need to go through Outlook/Microsoft to reset that password first before you can continue with your address change with your Apple ID.


Here is the link to Microsoft's Account Recovery/password reset page: https://account.live.com/ResetPassword.aspx
