Hello balta-zar,


Which process for resetting the password are they using? For example, did they use the iForgot website or are they resetting it from Settings/System Preferences, etc?


This page here can help out with the various ways to get the password reset: If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support


If they're using the website, check to see if the page there is requesting the code in question.


Cheers.

Greetings balta-zar,


Once the necessary wait time is up, instructions will be sent on how to complete the account recovery.


Check out the information in the following article:


How to use account recovery when you can’t reset your Apple ID password - Apple Support


"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."


Kind regards.

Hi Eric_G1,


Thanks for your response.

She use website for forgot password, but also she tried with settings/system preferences, but output is the same. There is a message that we need to wait ~17 hours and after that she receive an email with 6 digit code and text that she need to enter this code to verification site, but there is no link in the email for verification site and we don't know where it is.


Best,

Bojan
