Am currently overseas and my iPhone was stolen . Trying to use the find my iPhone app but I can’t remember by Apple ID password. I’ve tried to reset my password but ended up with the account recovery process. And Apple says it’s going to take 20 days?!? Help!! How can I speed up the process???
I don’t or forgot my Apple ID password. It says I can use the passcode to open my phone but that doesn’t work in order for me to login with a new password. Please advise & help me figure this out. I’ve been trying all afternoon. It’s very frustrating.

"In some cases, you might be able to speed up the account recovery process or reset your password immediately by verifying a six-digit code sent to your primary email address. You might also be able to shorten the wait time by providing credit-card details to confirm your identity. If you’re given this option, an authorization request goes to the card issuer." - see the document for more details.
