I loaned my phone to someone and uses it. He forgot the ID he used. How do I open?

Hello,

The other person needs to follow the steps in these links:

If you forgot your Apple ID

If you forgot your Apple ID password

Good luck.

If you’re trying to recover an Apple ID that was used on your iPhone, you can follow these steps:

1. Go to the Apple ID account page at https://appleid.apple.com.

2. Click on “Forgot Apple ID or password.”

3. If asked to confirm your phone number, use steps for two-factor authentication instead.

4. Enter the Apple ID.

5. Select the option to reset your password, then choose “Continue.”

Here’s the tricky part. If you don’t know the Apple ID, then you’ll need to click on “Forgot your Apple ID?” You’ll then be asked for some information (like name, email address) to try to help locate the Apple ID.

However, if your friend used his own Apple ID and forgot it, only he can recover it. Apple takes privacy and security very seriously, and only the account holder can access their account.

Also, keep in mind that continuous unsuccessful attempts may lock the account temporarily.

If you’re unable to recover the Apple ID or if the device is locked to that Apple ID, I’d recommend getting in touch with Apple Support directly for further assistance.

An Apple ID is an eMail Address:

The Apple ID would be an eMail address. So, if your friend only has one eMail address, then that would likely be what he would have used.
