Apple ID says it was disabled, can't connect my Apple Watch
I have an Apple Watch and I want to use my old Apple ID but I put it in and it said it was disabled and go here. I don’t know how to get it connected.

Hello,
I see you apparently have a disabled account, but have not provided the exact error message which would indicate a specific solution. The support article If your Apple ID is locked or disabled - Apple Support has solutions for two frequently encountered reasons for an account to be disabled/locked:
● If a message says "your account has been disabled in the App Store and iTunes Store" or "You cannot login because your account has been locked", then you must contact Apple; you cannot resolve this yourself. Apple provides a link for this specific issue. Tap or click here ➞ https://getsupport.apple.com/?caller=kbase&PGF=PGF63005&category_id=SC0245&symptom_id=23362 .
● If your account has been disabled for security reasons the solution is to reset your password as outlined in this document: If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
If you find you can’t sign in, reset your password, or receive verification codes, you can request account recovery (read this support article: How to use account recovery when you can’t reset your Apple ID password - Apple Support ) to regain access to your account. For additional assistance from Apple Security, read: Contact Apple for help with Apple ID account security - Apple Support
If it's another reason then post here with details.
● If your account says it is inactive, that is not the same as it being disabled. Contact Apple using this link Choose your country or region - Official Apple Support
