If your account has been disabled for security reasons

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

  • “This Apple Account has been disabled for security reasons”
  • “You can’t sign in because your account was disabled for security reasons”
  • ”This Apple Account has been locked for security reasons”

You or someone else might have entered your password or other account information incorrectly too many times. To regain access, you need to reset your password.
