How to reset your Apple account password?

Reset Your Apple Account Password on Your iPhone
1. Open Settings.  
2. Tap your name > Sign-In & Security > Change Password.

Reset Your Apple Account Password on Another Trusted Device 
You can follow the same steps on a trusted iPad, Apple Vision Pro, or Apple Watch.  
To reset your password on a trusted Mac, click the Apple menu  > System Settings > [your name] > Sign-In & Security. Then click Change Password and follow the on-screen prompts.

If You Have a New Apple Device

If you're not signed in to your Apple Account on a new device, select *Forgotten password or don’t have an Apple Account?* on the sign-in screen during setup.  
After setup, you can reset your password through Settings:  

  • iPhone or iPad: Go to Settings > Apple Account, tap Sign in manually, then select Forgotten password? and follow the instructions.  
  • Mac: Choose Apple menu  > System Settings, click Sign In, then tap Forgotten password and follow the instructions.

 

Reset Your Apple Account Password Using the Apple Support App on a Borrowed Device

  • If you don't have an Apple device but can access your trusted phone number, borrow an Apple device from a friend, family member, or an Apple Store.  
  • Open the Apple Support app on the borrowed device (download it from the App Store if necessary).  
  • Scroll down to Support Tools, then tap Reset Password > Help Someone Else.  
  • Enter your Apple Account email or phone number.  
  • Tap Continue and follow the on-screen instructions.  

Rest assured, any information you enter will not be saved on the device.

Reset Your Apple Account Password on the Web
You can also reset your password on the web to regain access to your account. If a trusted device is available, you may be redirected to it.  If you don’t have access to a trusted device, the process may take longer. It might be quicker to reset the password once you have access to one of your trusted devices.
