To reset your Apple ID password on your iPhone 12, visit the iForgot website.
Resetting Your Apple ID Password
Here's a step-by-step guide on how to reset your Apple ID password using your iPhone 12:
- Open a web browser: Use Safari or any other browser installed on your iPhone 12.
- Go to iForgot: Navigate to the official Apple iForgot website: https://iforgot.apple.com.
- Enter your Apple ID: Type in the Apple ID (usually an email address) that you want to reset.
- Follow the prompts: You'll likely be presented with a few options for resetting your password. Common methods include:
- Using your trusted phone number: Apple will send a verification code to your trusted phone number associated with your Apple ID.
- Answering security questions: If you've set up security questions, you'll be prompted to answer them.
- Using another device: If you have other Apple devices signed in with the same Apple ID, you might be able to reset the password from one of those devices.
- Verify your identity: Complete the verification steps based on the method you choose. This might involve entering a code sent to your phone, answering your security questions correctly, or confirming the reset on another device.
- Create a new password: Once your identity is verified, you'll be prompted to create a new, strong password for your Apple ID. Make sure it meets the requirements (e.g., minimum length, a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols).
- Confirm your new password: Re-enter the new password to confirm it.
- Update your password on other devices: After resetting your password, you may need to update it on your other Apple devices (iPads, Macs, etc.) and any third-party apps or services that use your Apple ID.
If You've Forgotten Your Apple ID
If you've forgotten your Apple ID itself, the iForgot website can also help you recover it. On the iForgot page, look for the option to "Forgot Apple ID?" and follow the prompts to find your Apple ID using your name, email address, or phone number.
