Apple ID password and username problem?
I just got my iphone fixed and its been a while since i've downloaded anything. I forgot my apple IDs password and the hint is practically useless. Is there anything i can do to start downloading apps without having to lose everything i already have.
You won't lose what you got if you will download new apps (with new apple ID)
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to answer your question.
Yes you can create a new Apple ID and start downloading immediately but there are caveats to that process. You will not have the ability to access previously paid for apps for some updates and if you have to restore your phone or move to a new upgrade iPhone you will lose those previously downloaded apps because you won't have the login information for that account.
Your best bet is to go to…
www.iforgot.apple.com
and reset your password… They give you multiple ways to reset your password. Worse case you can do a chat session with Apple Support to get your Apple ID reset.
I hope this helps you with your current situation and congrats on getting your iPhone fixed.
Thank you

- I'm trying to ease all contents and setting from my iPhone 7 and it's asking for a password but I don't have a password Ok so I recently got an iPhone 7 and when I opened it up it was a clean slate nothing on it. However when I tried to restore my old phone's data I restored the wrong phone. I tried to go into setting and ease all contents but it asked for a password that I didn't put into my phone and didn't create. I have no clue what to do.
