WHEN THE FIRST TWO DONT WORK
I followed the first method but for some reason, my registered phone number got no code in the second step where you type in your number. In this case.
- After confirming your phone number the screen will shift to what you see below.
- Go through the options and click on what suits you best. If all 3 options do not work for you then click on- “ CANT GET TO ANOTHER DEVICE”
- The screen will shift to what you see below. Click on continue anyway and you will be asked to type out your number again in order to send you a verification code.
- In the next step, they will ask you about your card details. If you do not remember then click on “DONT HAVE THIS CARD” if you do then fill out the details.
- After filling in your card details- click continue and the page shows that you will be contacted the next day on the primary email Id for you to reset your password!
This method may take a couple of days for you get finally gain access to your Apple Id( read the paragraph before you hit continue anyway carefully)
