Apple ID password recovery
There is no need to wait for the text message. Just go to iforgot.apple.com there you can know how much time you need to wait and reset your password, same exact steps as if you're just now trying to reset your password. Few things you have to know You have to turn off any devices that are connected to the same Apple ID for the whole account recovery period, or at least turn off the internet. If the device you started the account recovery from is an Apple device, you have to turn that off as well. Do not try to sign in and wait for the account recovery period. Those could cause the account recovery period to be longer, or get canceled all together, and then you have to start it again. More on reddit.com

r/iCloud on Reddit: Forgot my Apple ID password and need to reset it but can’t seem to do so without knowing my Apple ID password. Am I stupid or is this just horrible design?
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?
