Resetting your Apple ID password is essential if you've forgotten it or need to update it for security reasons.
Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do it:
- Visit the Apple ID Website or Use a Device : You can reset your password on the Apple ID website appleid.apple.com or through an Apple device, such as an iPhone or Mac.
On the website, click on “Forgot Apple ID or password.”
If using an Apple device, go to Settings > Your Name > Password & Security > Change Password.
- Enter Your Apple ID:
After selecting "Forgot Apple ID or password," you’ll be asked to enter your Apple ID email address. Once entered, click “Continue.”
- Verify Your Identity:
You will be prompted to verify your identity, either via your trusted phone number, email, or two-factor authentication if enabled.
- Reset the Password:
Follow the instructions to reset your password. Apple may send a code to your trusted device or email. Enter the code to proceed.
After verification, create a new password. Ensure it’s strong and secure by using a combination of letters, numbers, and symbols.
- Sign in with Your New Password:
Once the password is successfully reset, use it to sign in to your Apple ID account across all your Apple devices.
Make sure to keep your password safe and enable two-factor authentication for enhanced security.
