Forgetting your Apple ID: How to change your ID

If you have forgotten your Apple ID and can no longer access your iDevice or account, it only takes a few steps. You can recover both the Apple ID itself and the password for your access.

According to its own statements, Apple deliberately refrained from setting up a password reset button directly on the device when designing the Apple ID. After all, if you ever forget your Apple ID, you can also quickly fix this problem externally. However, if your iPhone has been stolen, such a button makes it easy for thieves to fully use the device. Therefore, the way to recover the forgotten Apple ID or password is through the browser.

Just a few steps: recover forgotten Apple ID

The Apple ID is your personal identification for all Apple services.

1. If you have forgotten your Apple ID or password, first visit this Apple website.
2. If you have forgotten your password, enter your Apple ID and follow the further instructions to have the password reset and set a new, secure password.
3. On the other hand, if you have forgotten your Apple ID per se, click on "If you have forgotten your Apple ID, you can search for it here."
4. Now enter your first name, last name, as well as the email address you have stored in your Apple ID. The Apple ID will now be sent to your email address.
