If you have to use Account Recovery you have missed out on all the options to speed up the process of regaining access to your account due to a forgotten password. Your password is reset immediately when any of these are true:

  • You had another Trusted Device logged into your account
  • You had one or more Trusted Phone numbers on your account to receive a recovery link
  • You had set up a Recovery Contact


Without using any of those methods, then you are subject to the waiting period through Account Recovery. As seen in the Support Article:


It may be several days or more before you can reset your password. Contacting Apple Support can’t help you shorten this time.
