Your Apple ID has been disabled?

Your Apple ID account becomes disabled for one of two reasons. Either

1) You tried to enter the wrong password or wrong security answers too many times - in that case, head over to https://iforgot.apple.com to get started toward recovering your account

or

2) You owe the iTunes Store money or there is a problem with your iTunes account - in that case, head over to iTunes - Official Apple Support for assistance or fill out this form: https://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html

Did you go to the iforget website to unlock the account? What happened? Did you get a message saying the the Apple ID was unlocked? Did you sign out of Apple ID BEFORE trying to unlock the ID and then re-login?

If you still cannot get into the Apple ID you would need to contact Apple ID support.

No, it is the solution in case the other solutions do not work. Clearly your issue was beyond the scope of the IFORGOT page. Glad your issue was resolved.

Have a nice day.
