Troubleshooting an Inaccessible Account:


Change the Phone Number and Get Back In:

You need to change the phone number to one that is not assigned to an Apple Account. To do so, contact Apple Support, and ask the Apple Rep to modify the photo number to what it should be. Stay on the phone with the Apple Rep to be sure that you are able to get back in.

Contact Apple Support:

Note: Phone calls are taking a bit to go through at the moment, due to lots of calls. With the Coronavirus Pandemic, many are at home at the moment, with much time on their hands to contact Apple. So, just stay on the line, and you will get through :)
