How to use account recovery when you can’t reset your Apple Account password - Apple Support*


*After you start account recovery

After you request account recovery, you get an email with a confirmation of your request and the date and time of when you can expect to regain access. This email arrives within 72 hours.

It may be several days or more before you can reset your password. Contacting Apple Support can’t help you shorten this time.

When the waiting period is over, Apple will send you a text or automated phone call with instructions to regain access to your account. If you don’t receive the text or call, once the period specified in the original email is over, you can still go directly to apple.com/recover. Follow the instructions to regain access to your Apple Account.


Read carefully through the entire as I only posted a small portion to show that support can’t shorten the time period. Take care.
