Hello,

try this:


If you forgot your Apple ID password

Here's how to reset your Apple ID password and regain access to your account.


The fastest and easiest way to reset your password is with your iPhone or other trusted Apple device — one that you're already signed in to with your Apple ID, so that we know that it's yours.

You need a passcode (or password on Mac) set up on your device.


Reset your Apple ID password on your iPhone or other trusted Apple device

  1. Go to Settings.
  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.

To reset your password on your trusted Mac, choose Apple menu  > System Settings > your name. Then click Sign-In & Security, Change Password, and follow the onscreen instructions.

If you have a new Apple device

If you have a new Apple device or an Apple device that you aren't signed in to with your Apple ID, you can select "Forgot password or don't have an Apple ID?" wherever the option appears.

During device setup, you can find the "Forgot password or don't have an Apple ID?" option on the Apple ID sign-in screen.

After setup, you can find the "Forgot password or don't have an Apple ID?" option in Settings:

  • iPhone or iPad: Go to the Settings app and tap Sign in to your iPhone. Then tap "Forgot password or don't have an Apple ID?" and follow the onscreen instructions.
  • Mac: Choose Apple menu  > System Settings. Click "Sign in with your Apple ID," then click "Forgot Apple ID or password?" and follow the onscreen instructions.

Reset your Apple ID password with the Apple Support app on a borrowed device

If you don't have an Apple device but have access to your trusted phone number, you can borrow an Apple device from a friend or family member, or use one at an Apple Store.

  1. Open the Apple Support app on the borrowed Apple device. If needed, you can download the Apple Support app from the App Store.
  2. Scroll down to Support Tools, then tap Reset Password.
  3. Tap "A different Apple ID."
  4. Enter your Apple ID. If you don't remember your Apple ID, you might be able to use your email address or phone number.
  5. Tap Next, and follow the onscreen instructions to reset your password.

Any information that you enter will not be stored on the device.

Reset your Apple ID password on the web

Reset your password at iforgot.apple.com 

When possible, the web process redirects you to a trusted device.

If you don't have a trusted device, you can still reset your password on the web — but the process might take a little longer. If you'll have access to one of your trusted devices soon, it might be faster and easier to reset your password then.


Hope i Helped :)

You are sign in here .  .  .  with your Apple ID & Password.

Your Apple ID is the personal account you use with all Apple products and services. It includes the email address and password you use to sign in, as well as the contact, payment, and security details that you use with Apple.

You can’t merge multiple Apple ID accounts.

 

What happens when you use the same Apple ID & Password that you use to sign in here?

Maybe this will help:


Require a password for App Store and iTunes purchases

You can require a password for every purchase or require a password every 15 minutes.


You can choose how often you want to enter your password when you buy items (including in-app purchases) from the App Store and iTunes Store:

  • Always Require – Every time you make a purchase, you'll be asked to enter your password, even if you've signed in with your Apple ID.
  • Require After 15 Minutes – If you've entered your password within the last 15 minutes, you won't be asked to enter your password again.

If you don't want to enter a password when you download free items, follow the steps below and turn off password protection for free items.


Require a password on your iPhone or iPad

  1. Open the Settings app.
  2. Tap your name.
  3. Tap Media & Purchases.
  4. Tap Password Settings, then choose the setting you want.

If you can't see Password Settings, you've turned on Face ID or Touch ID for App Store and iTunes Purchases. To change this, go back to Settings, tap "Face ID & Passcode" or "Touch ID & Passcode", then turn off Face ID or Touch ID next to "iTunes & App Store".
