I cannot get into my icloud account. I have my user name and password written down but neither work. I may be locked out now.

My son has lost his phone. I was hoping to get into his icloud account to see if I could turn on find my iphone or something in hopes of finding it. Is that possible?

Another problem is that I can't get into his icloud account. He is under me, bc he is a minor. I would appreciate any help

Assuming you are posting from your usual account, you should be able to log into your iCloud account using the same information that let you post here.
