Hello, Erickywoods2

If you or someone else enters your password or other account information incorrectly too many times, your account will become locked and you will need to regain access to your account.

If you see one of the following messages, your Apple ID automatically locked to protect your security and you can't sign in to any Apple services:

• “This Apple ID has been disabled due to security reasons”
• "You can't sign in because your account has been disabled due to security reasons"
• "This Apple ID has been locked due to security reasons"

You need to reset your password to regain access, Learn how to reset your password. 

This Apple Support article will provide further assistance If your Apple ID is locked or disabled - Apple Support.

I hope this information helps you unlock your Apple ID.

Take care

● 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 .

The other response mostly deals with this possibility:

● 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. More detail in —> Activation Lockout Issues - Apple Community For additional assistance from Apple Security, read: Contact Apple for support and service - Apple Support

● If your account says it is inactive, that is not the same as it being disabled. Contact Apple:

1. Click here --> https://getsupport.apple.com/?caller=cups&PGF=PGF63005

2. Select: Disabled Apple ID

3. Select: ”The Apple ID is not active" alert

4. Select: “Continue”

5. Select a chat or telephone call option.

If it's another reason then post here with details.
