You can recover or update your old password through your Apple device, Apple&rsquo;s official website, or Keychain Access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See section &ldquo;how do I recover my Apple ID?&rdquo; for details.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"using-itunes\">Using iTunes<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>If you aren&rsquo;t able to recover or change your Apple ID password, you can use iTunes to sign out of your Apple account. However, this method can only be used if you have iOS 13 or lower.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Create a backup for your data before you proceed, then follow the steps below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>On your iPhone, go to &ldquo;Settings&rdquo; &gt; &ldquo;Apple ID&rdquo; &gt; &ldquo;Find My&rdquo; and disable the &ldquo;Find my iPhone&rdquo; feature<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-layout-3 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/img_62fe18d5789ea.png\" alt=\"\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/img_62fe18d5789ea.png.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-21\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" lazyload\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/img_62fe18d70d719.png\" alt=\"\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/img_62fe18d70d719.png.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-22\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" lazyload\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li>Go to &ldquo;Settings&rdquo; and tap &ldquo;iTunes &amp; App Store&ldquo;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select your Apple ID at the top<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A popup appears to remove your Apple ID from your phone.
