Use an iOS device at an Apple Store


If you can get to an Apple Store, you can use another iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to reset your password. Click can’t use any options, I got that message stating: Without an Apple device, you will have to wait to reset your password.

The easiest and fastest way to reset your password is from an Apple device.If you don’t have access to any Apple devices, you can provide some other information to verify your identity instead.

Without an Apple device, it will take longer for us to verify your identity. It may be several days or more before you’ll be able to reset your password.Apple Support can’t help you shorten this time.

We know this delay is inconvenient, but we use this wait time to ensure your account and your data remain safe. If you continue, we’ll ask you a few more questions to verify your identity. So I clicked continue anyway, I tried iforgot.Apple.com page, it’s stating: Your session has timed out.



background: I use support app, I got this screen stating: Can't Use Your Phone Number?


Since you could not complete the previous step, you will have to wait to reset your password.


The waiting period may be several days. We know this delay is inconvenient, but we use this time to ensure your account and data remain safe. Apple Support cannot reduce your wait time.


If you continue, we will use other available information to help verify your identity.


then I got that screen stating: Verify Email


To help verify your identity, we will send an email with a verification code


So I click continue anyway! It’s stating: Verify Number


Enter the verification code sent to


and it’s stating: Password Reset Requested


We are evaluating your information to determine when you will be able to reset your password.


By this time tomorrow, we'll contact you to let you know when your wait time will be complete. Apple Support cannot reduce your wait time.

Account Recovery takes as long as it takes. There is (deliberately) no means to speed it up.


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


Per Apple: Account recovery is a process designed to get you back into your Apple ID account when you don’t have enough information to reset your password. For security reasons, it might take several days or longer before you can use your account again. We know this delay is inconvenient, but it's important so that we can keep your account and information safe.
