Hey there Paquetezo,


Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities. If you forgot the password for your Apple ID account, check out the steps listed in the following resource that can help with resetting that: If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support


Reset your Apple ID password on your iPhone or other trusted Apple device
1. Go to Settings.
2. Tap your name > Password & Security > Change Password.
3. Follow the onscreen instructions to reset your password.

You can also follow this process on a trusted iPad, iPod touch, or Apple Watch.

To reset your password on your trusted Mac, choose Apple menu  > System Settings (or System Preferences) > Sign in with your Apple ID (or Apple ID). Then click Password & Security, Change Password, and follow the onscreen instructions.

Reset your Apple ID password with the Apple Support app on a borrowed device
If you don't have an Apple device but have access to your trusted phone number, you can borrow an Apple device from a friend or family member, or use one at an Apple Store.

Open the Apple Support app on the borrowed Apple device. If needed, you can download the Apple Support app from the App Store.
1. Scroll down to Support Tools, then tap Reset Password.
2. Tap "A different Apple ID."
3. Enter your Apple ID, tap Next, and follow the onscreen instructions to reset your password.
4. Any information that you enter will not be stored on the device.

Reset your Apple ID password on the web
If you don't have a trusted device, you can reset your password on the web — but the process might take a little longer.

When possible, the web process redirects you to a trusted device. If you'll have access to one of your trusted devices soon, it might be faster and easier to reset your password then.

Reset your password at iforgot.apple.com


Keep us updated on the results, or if you have any other questions.


Cheers!
