Question

What if I don't know the password?

Community Answer

When you go to Settings > iTunes and App Store, click your email. Next, click iForgot and it will send an email or phone number confirmation to the owner's email address or phone number. You will receive a code. Type in the code and you can reset the password. If you have set 2-step verification and cannot do it, you will need to ask Apple Support.

If you have forgotten your Apple ID but think you might have one (like you had an iPhone years ago before switching to Android), you can go to https://iforgot.apple.com, enter your first name, last name, and email address, and see if it's recoverable.
