How to reactivate your Apple ID

Your Apple ID protects important, personal data that should not fall into the hands of third parties. If you try to log in too often and enter incorrect identification data, your Apple ID will be automatically locked. This way, no unauthorized person can try to crack your password. Payment services such as Click & Buy can also deactivate your Apple ID for security reasons. This can happen if you have outstanding bills, but also if you suspect that someone else is using your account. There are several ways to reactivate your Apple ID.

2. Open the website http://appleid.apple.com, you can also select "Forgot your Apple ID or password?". Again, you need to follow the instructions accordingly.
