new child account - forgot password

I set up a new child account and forgot the password. The security question of his birthday isn’t recognized as a correct response. The reset via email has not sent a link to my email (primary listed in my Apple ID account).

I can’t remove the errant account from my family.

what can I do?

My child’s Apple ID password was changed by his useless other parent and they cannot remember the password. The e-mail’s password was also changed and the password recovery process goes tot hat email.

Issue with child under 13 Apple ID, possibly hacked Two years ago I set up and Apple ID for my then 4 year old son using family sharing because we needed an e-mail for him for virtual classes for his preschool and I could have a ton of school emails coming into my email. I just tried to log into the email for it and it said my password was wrong. I tried to reset the password but the phone number has been changed on it. Since his Apple ID is under my Apple ID is there a way for me to get the account back from whomever took it?

How to recover my daughter's iCloud account? Dear All, My daughters iCloud account is "Locked for security reasons". I am unable to recover it because of the following... [1] Forgotten password [2] Forgotten security questions [3] Recovery email address no longer active So as you see, of the options Apple/iCloud give for recovery, I have access to none of them. I have changed my AppleID (email address) on my account, but this is not reflected on my daughter's account which continues to send recovery information to my old now-defunct email address. Can anyone advise if there is another way to regain access to her account (for family sharing). I don't want to have to create a new AppleID if it's not absolutely necessary. Thanks in advance for any help/advice. Kevin
