If you’ve forgotten your Apple Account password

Reset your Apple Account password on your iPhone

1. Go to Settings.

2. Tap your name > Sign-In & Security > Change Password.

3. Follow the onscreen instructions to reset your password.

Reset your Apple Account password on a different trusted device

You can also follow the iPhone steps on a trusted iPad or Macbook.

To reset your password on your trusted Mac, choose Apple menu  > System Settings > [your name] > Sign-In & Security. Then click Change Password, and follow the on-screen instructions.

Reset your Apple ID password with the Apple Support app on a borrowed device

If you don’t have an Apple device but have access to your trusted phone number, you can borrow an Apple device from a friend or family member or use one at an Apple Store.

1. Open the Apple Support app on the borrowed Apple device. If you need to download the Apple Support app, find it in the App Store.

2. Scroll down to Support Tools, then tap Reset Password.

3. “Help Someone Else”.

4. Enter your Apple Account email address or phone number.

5. Tap Continue, and follow the on-screen instructions to reset your password.

Reset your Apple Account password on the web

You can also regain access to your account by resetting your password on the web. When possible, the web browser will redirect you to a trusted device instead.

If you don’t have a trusted device, you can still reset your password on the web – but the process may take a little longer. If you’ll have access to one of your trusted devices soon, it may be faster and easier to reset your password at that time.
