Hello Queenyana,


We understand that your daughter need to turn off Find My on her iPhone 12. However, she needs access to her Apple ID password. The resource you were reviewing can walk her through the steps that she can take on her new device to regain access to her account:

  2. Tap your name > Sign-In & Security > Change Password.

3. Follow the onscreen instructions to reset your password.


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