I forgot my Apple ID password and try to reset it. But it kept telling me to enter a new password after I put in a new password. What should I do?
And every time I try to reset it, I need to wait for 1 hour. I kept trying a few days. It’s really annoying. I just want to download a free app.

If your Apple ID keeps asking for a new password or says it needs to be reset, it may be due to a security lockout, suspicious activity, or outdated login information across devices. Here's how to properly reset your Apple ID password and stop the repeated prompts
To fix it, go to iforgot.apple.com and follow the prompts to reset your password using your trusted device, phone number, or security questions.
After setting a strong new password, make sure to sign out and back in with the updated credentials on all your devices—including iPhones, iPads, Macs, and any services using your Apple ID like iCloud, Mail, or iTunes.
If you're still getting repeated prompts, check that your new password is updated everywhere and that it meets Apple’s security requirements.
In some cases, Apple may suspect unauthorized access and continue asking for a reset until everything is secured.
If you're stuck or can't verify your identity, follow the steps for account recovery provided on the same site, or contact Apple Support for further help
