When you try to download new apps or perform other tasks, it can be annoying to be locked out of your account. Passwords are designed to protect privacy, but if you are locked out, it will be painful. Especially, if you are an Apple user, you know it can be annoying.
Whether you want to log into iCloud on a new device or download something from iTunes or the App Store, you’ll need your Apple ID password to get it done. If you can’t remember your password, you can reset it using the web browser on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac. If you don’t even remember your Apple ID, you can try to recover that too.
