Resetting my Apple ID password through iForgot

if you don't have any of your own apple devices handy, you can do it from a family member's or a friend's iphone. the Apple Support app has a reset password option for a different apple id, and nothing gets saved on their phone. also, if you set up a recovery key at some point, you'll need it, apple can't get round that one for you.

If you're still signed in on an iPhone, iPad or Mac, skip iForgot and do it on the device: Settings > your name > Sign-In & Security > Change Password. It only asks for the device passcode. The iForgot page sends the reset prompt to your trusted devices or a code to your trusted number. If you've lost all of those, it falls back to account recovery, which takes days on purpose. Don't keep starting new requests while it's waiting, that can reset the wait.
