Then your account is compromised and you will need to follow these steps


  1. Change your Apple ID password
  2. If your Apple ID password has been changed by someone else, reset your password.
  3. Go to appleid.apple.com to update any of personal or security information that isn't correct or that you don't recognize.
  4. Check with your email address* provider to make sure that you control every email address associated with your Apple ID. If you don't control an email address, work with your email provider to regain control or use a different email address.

* In China mainland and India, you can use your phone number as your Apple ID.

If you can't reset your Apple ID password or sign in

If you can't reset your Apple ID password or sign in to appleid.apple.com, go to iforgot.apple.com to start account recovery and regain access after an account recovery waiting period.
