Hello Bonnie,


Please follow all of the directions in this help article.


  • Sign in to your Apple ID account page. If you can't sign in or you receive a message that the account is locked when you try to sign in, go to iforgot.apple.com. Then try to reset or unlock your account. If you still can't sign in, contact Apple Support.
  • Change your Apple ID password, and choose a strong password.
  • Review all the personal and security information in your account. Update any information that isn't correct or that you don’t recognize, including:
  • Check with your email address provider to make sure that you control every email address associated with your Apple ID. If you don't control the email addresses associated with the Apple ID, you should change the password for the email address or use a different email address.
  • Set up two-step verification or two-factor authentication for your Apple ID. These additional security features are designed to prevent anyone from accessing your account, even if they know your password.
