How do I retrieve my old password from my stolen iPhone?

My iPhone 12 was stolen last week. Now on my new iPhone 12 I had to make a new Apple ID and apple password! How do I get my password without my old phone number too. I have a new number

There’s no need to create a new AppleID.


Doing so would bypass the ability to restore from your previous phone’s backups.


Click “Didn’t receive passcode” on the code entry screen.


From there you can select of of your pre-designated “Trusted Numbers” to receive the code.


Read your new phone’s setup screens VERY carefully. It will ask for your AppleID, AppleID passWORD and your previous phone’s passCODE.
