My Apple account has been locked, unable to download apps. This is because I inputted incorrect password a number of times. How long do I have to wait before I can unlock?

If your Apple ID is locked or disabled - https://support.apple.com/HT204106 - "If you or someone else enters your password, security questions, or other account information incorrectly too many times, your Apple ID automatically locks to protect your security and you can't sign in to any Apple services. You can unlock your Apple ID after you verify your identity."


What to do after [or before] you change your Apple ID email address or password - https://support.apple.com/HT204071 - Or if you're seeing persistent disabled messages.


If you cannot resolve it yourself:
