Welcome and thank you for reaching out. 🤗
To reset your Apple Account password, you can choose "Forgot Password?" on any sign-in screen and follow the onscreen instructions.
If you have a trusted device, you can use it to change your password directly in Settings. If you don't have a trusted device, you can request account recovery at iforgot.apple.com or by using the Apple Support app on a borrowed device.
If you need more help, contact Apple Support directly.
Good Luck! 👋🏼😉

Check your web browser autofill entries, the Keychain or Passwords application, and other records, or use Apple's iForgot service, or contact their Account Security team.
