User level: Level 1 (4 points)I forgot the password for my Apple Account ending in @iCloud.com. My Apple Watch is broken, my iPad uses a different Apple Account, and I cannot access the iCloud email inbox. The password reset keeps sending instructions to that inaccessible inbox. How can I recover my account?

If you forgot your password and can’t sign in to your Apple Account - Apple Support
Also, if you have a Mac that also has logged in to that Apple account in the past, it might have the Apple account password saved in Safari, Keychain, or the Passwords app. I don't know enough about iPads to suggest something there, even though it uses a different account, if it ever logged in to this Apple account, it might have its password stored where you can view it.
If all this fails, you should as a last resort try going in person to an Apple Store e trequest assistance.r
