Hi there,


If your Apple ID is locked or disabled for security reasons see this instructions in order to regain access to your Apple ID


If you see one of the following messages, your Apple ID automatically locked to protect your security and you can't sign in to any Apple services:

  • “This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons”
  • "You can't sign in because your account was disabled for security reasons"
  • "This Apple ID has been locked for security reasons"

You need to reset your password to regain access. Learn how to reset your password


If your Apple ID is disabled in the App Store and iTunes, there is something going on with your account that cannot be solved on your end. Please  contact Apple Support for help at a time they're open
