How to Recover your Apple Account Password

If you ever forget your Apple Account password, you can reset it and regain access to your account. The easiest way to do so is with your iPhone or other trusted Apple device, one that’s already signed in to your Apple Account, so that Apple knows that it’s yours.

You can also reset your password on the web when you don’t have a trusted device is another way to regain access to your account.

To reset your Apple Account password on your iPhone, iPad, or Apple Vision Pro, follow these steps:

  1. Go to Settings, then tap your name.
  2. Tap Sign-In & Security, then select Change Password.
  3. Follow the onscreen instructions to reset your password.

If you’re not signed in to your Apple Account on an Apple device, you can select “Forgot password or don’t have an Apple Account?” during device setup on the Apple Account sign-in screen.

After setup, you can reset your password in Settings:

  • iPhone or iPad: Go to Settings, then tap Apple Account. Select “Sign in manually”, then tap “Forgot password?” and follow the onscreen instructions.
  • Mac: From the Apple menu , choose System Settings. Click Sign in, then click “Forgot password” and follow the onscreen instructions.

That’s not recovering – that’s just resetting your password.
