How to Change my Apple ID password if my phone is stolen

Hi. Needed some urgent help. My wife’s phone got stolen. We managed to put it on lock mode and for an email from apple that’s it’s been successful done. After about 15-20 minutes we got another mail saying the Apple ID password has been changed. Is it possible and how?

Also in this case how can I recover my id and password. Unfortunately I’m travelling and I do not have my MacBook with me.

If you can access the Internet, enter the Apple (iCloud) ID, and click Forgot Password. See if you can get a Rescue or Notification email option if necessary. Link to contact Apple Support at the end of the 2nd article.


Apple ID - Manage


Apple ID – Forgot Password  *      


If you have 2 Factor Authentication enabled, if you can't recover the password using the steps above, you will need to use Account Recovery. The Recovery Process is an automated process and the length of time it takes can vary a lot. Apple ID Support can only answer your questions. They can't intervene in or speed up the process. The article below has some suggestions to shorten the time the process takes.
