Forgotten Apple Account password and Face ID not recognizing face

I can’t log in to my Apple ID or recover my account details. Unfortunately, I’ve forgotten my password, and Face ID isn’t recognizing my face.

See the following two links for help:


If you forgot your Apple Account password - Apple Support


If Face ID isn't working on your iPhone or iPad Pro - Apple Support


And do yourself a favor. Once out of this mess, write down your important passwords/passcodes somewhere safe for future recall.
