How to unlock account

How do I unlock my account? I entered my wrong password too many times. Tried all the Apple suggestions and nothing has worked.

Wait about 24 hours and try again using the correct password.


If you forgot the Apple ID password, enter the Apple (iCloud) ID, and click Forgot Password. See if you can get a Rescue or Notification  email option if necessary. Link to contact Apple Support at the end of the 2nd article.

If you once had another number, have you tried that number? See if you can get a Rescue or Notification  email option. If you still can't recover the password, use account recovery. The Recovery Process is an automated process and the length of time it takes can vary a lot. Apple ID Support can only answer your questions. They can't intervene in or speed up the process. The article below has some suggestions to shorten the the time the process takes.
