To create a new one or edit your existing AppleID, go to: https://appleid.apple.com


If you are locked out of your Apple ID account you can go to https://iforgot.apple.com

This will provide you with the recovery steps you put in place for this situation.


Here are some support articles that should help:

If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support

If your Apple ID has been locked or disabled – Apple Support

See How to create a new Apple ID https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204316. See the data implications below.

 

Some of these things may apply even though not changing an Apple IDWhat to do after you change your Apple ID or password https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204071

 

 Keep in mind that some things available under a first Apple ID will not be available under a new Apple ID. For example, you won’t be able to transfer anything purchased from the App and iTunes Stores to the new ID. And, there are other issues to be addressed.
