Just a rant: there’s no way to reset your iCloud password if you don’t know your iCloud password.

If you know the phone passcode and depending on the iOS version, go to settings > name at the top > password and security. You can change your iCloud password since the device is signed into that account.

I got an email today saying my Apple ID password was changed and I have a question
if someone has access to your email or can guess your security questions, they can reset your password and access your icloud or apple id information/data. if you still have access to your account, change your password, review your recovery information, and change associated email passwords. if available, set up 2 step authentication on your accounts as well, and set your browser (login) sessions to a day or two (if available) More on reddit.com

How do I reset my Apple ID password?

You couldn’t find out how to reset which is extremely easy to find with Google, you know that company you said you want to go with due to your own incompetence?

Took me 5 seconds

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201487

Fact is you forgot your password. Moving to a Pixel isn’t going to fix that incompetence.

August 2, 2025 -

I have an old 7 plus that I’ve decided to sell (downsizing) but I haven’t used it in a few years and have no idea what the Apple ID password was. So that means I can’t turn off find my to wipe it so I can sell it. I’ve tried selecting forgot password through both the settings and at iforgot.apple.com but it just sends me an OTP which I need to reset it. Problem is it sends the code to the email associated with the account which is an iCloud email and of course I can’t access the iCloud email to get the code to reset the password because I can’t sign into iCloud without the @!,$;:/ password! Am I stupid or was this system designed by a sadist? How on earth do you fix this if it seems you’re locked out at every turn?
