How to recover iCloud account with a new phone number?

Hello,

i forgot my iclouds password, i started account recovery and asked for the old number i had it linked with, then couldn’t receive a code on it cause i dont have it, then the visa card that was linked with, then entered a new number where apple can send me codes on it. Then they told me that they will send a link to reset my password on the old account that im trying to access. What do i do ?

Read this article: How to use account recovery when you can’t reset your Apple Account password - Apple Support

Did you use other equipment while the request was being processed? Note the two sections about how using devices while using Account Recovery may result in the request being cancelled automatically.

You can check the status and recovery date at https://iforgot.apple.com/

Once the listed day and/or time arrives you can still go directly to apple.com/recover. Follow the instructions to regain access to your Apple Account.
