Apple ID Reset Process

Dear All,


Since couple of weeks I could not log in to apple store to download the apps & always screen pop up to enter the password but Unfortunately I did not remember the password.


When I tried to reset the password I did not receive password reset message like below to my I phone or either my email which linked with Apple ID.



Hence I had to reset the password two days back & I got the mail to wait 24 hours and yesterday I received the mail to wait another 12 days to recover the Apple ID.





My question is,


  1. What will happen after 22nd May when the recovery time is over. Can I reset my password and get back the previous apple ID again.
  2. Will it take more than 14 days again ?


Awaiting your kind reply on the above,



Thank you for your kind support,


Tishan.

Hey there,


About your first question:


After you request account recovery, you get an email with a confirmation of your request and the date and time of when you can expect to regain access.

  • If you submitted your account recovery request with iforgot.apple.com through your device's browser, you should avoid using that device during this period. Using that device might cancel account recovery. 
  • To avoid delays, turn off other devices that are signed in with your Apple ID until account recovery is complete. 

When the wait period is over, Apple sends you a text or automated phone call with instructions to regain access to your account. Follow the instructions to immediately regain access to your Apple ID.


about your second question:

At any time, you can see how long it will be until your account is ready for recovery, or when more information will be available. Just go to iforgot.apple.com and enter your Apple ID.

Hi Lafeef,


Many thanks for our support, Is it okay to log in the I phone with different Apple ID until recovery is finished ?

Cause I need to download some apps & backup some images I created another Apple ID.


I am sorry, I could not get in below. Can you please give more clarification on the below.

Thank you for your reply!


Unfortunately, I will not be able to provide an accurate answer to this issue because your account is in under recovery and this is a rather sensitive issue and the answer to your question requires checking the status of your account first,and this is what no one here can do. Only Apple support can do it for you.


( They recovery date and day are more expended if account is tried using in between the recovery mode )


you can contact Apple Support by the last link i sent to you I’m my previous post or you can click on Get Support The top right of the page
