How do I find my lost iPhone without iCloud access?

Because my phone is missing, I want to check its location using iCloud, but I've forgotten my iCloud password. What should I do? There's nothing that can be verified either. .

Your iCloud password is the same as the one you used to sign into this forum unless you created a different account specially to ask your question here.


This Apple article has instructions for what to do if you have forgotten your Apple account password, or the system does not recognize the one you remember —> If you forgot your Apple Account password - Apple Support


or go directly to this link —> http://iforgot.apple.com/


If you don't receive your verification or reset email, read this Apple Support article: If you didn’t receive your verification or reset email - Apple Support

"When you make certain updates to your Apple ID, we’ll send you an email to help you complete the update. For example, you might have reset your password, reset your security questions, or added a new email address to your account." Also check your junk mail.


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 Account password - Apple Support ) to regain access to your account. Account recovery might take a few days or longer, depending on the specific account information you can provide to verify your identity. This is a multi-step process.
