If you already tried (to no avail) all the steps provided in the support article that led you here, contact Apple Support directly using this link:--> Get Support, or make an appointment (*) and seek for assistance at an Apple Store or AASP (Apple Authorized Service Provider) among this list:--> Apple – Location Selector. After checking your devices, they'll give you all the available options.
