Trouble resetting Apple ID password

Hi! When going through the process of resetting my Apple ID password it asks me for the password to get into my phone and I enter it correctly but it says incorrect and then prompts me to go through a longer process of resetting my Apple ID password.. what do I do? When I go through with the longer process I never get an email the next day to reset the password. I now can’t update any of my apps.

Try resetting the password using the I forgot method. 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 have 2 Factor Authentication enabled, if you can't recover the password using the steps above, you will need to 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 time the process takes.
