Hello,
I see you apparently have a disabled account, but have not provided the exact error message which would indicate a specific solution. The support article If your Apple ID is locked, not active, or disabled - Apple Support has solutions for three frequently encountered reasons for an account to be disabled/locked/not-active:
● 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", you might be able to request reactivation by tapping Continue right from the alert. If that does not work, Apple provides a link for this specific issue. Tap or click here and choose a self-help or contact method ➞ https://getsupport.apple.com/?caller=kbase&PGF=PGF63005&category_id=SC0245&symptom_id=23362 .
● 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 “Account Locked”, or it is inactive, that is not the same as it being disabled. You might be able to request access to your account by tapping Request Access right from the alert. If that does not work, this link (versus one taking you to the general support page) is the most direct way to get to the people helping you with this —> https://getsupport.apple.com/?PGF=PGF63005&category_id=SC0245&symptom_id=23626

For a generic, numeric, unknown "error”, or simply unhelpful messages, I suggest you contact Apple.
Refer to this page for Apple Support features ➔ Contact - Official Apple Support
Select from the presented options until you find a solution for your issue, or see if there is a chat or phone call contact method offered lower on the page (you sometimes have to narrow down the options multiple times before this is shown). If you do not see your issue, keep experimenting with any series of selections until you reach one that offers a chat session or a telephone call and get the representative to redirect you.

A few weeks ago I started to receive the Alert "Unlock Apple ID--A password reset request was sent from a device at the location shown below". But there is never a device or location shown. I changed my PW but the message Keeps popping up, Not sure how to proceed.
I did not list my issue in the first post. Realizing my mistake I replied my self and poster the error message there: But I will also post the message in this reply:
