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! 👋🏼😉

C. Learn from This:
