Forgot Apple ID password and phone number

I don’t remember my Apple ID password and the phone number that it’s making me enter isn’t a familiar phone number at all. What do I do?

I see. See Set up your Apple Watch https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204505 See this link in the document Note this statement in the link. "If you already set up your Apple Watch but want to use it with a different iPhone, you can transfer your Apple Watch and its content to your new iPhone." Following the link you will see How to pair your Apple Watch with a new iPhone https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT205189. Here, you will see:


Here's what you need

  • Your Apple ID and password (so you can turn off Activation Lock)
  • Your old and new iPhone both need to be connected to Wi-Fi
  • Your Apple Watch and iPhone both need to be at least 50 percent charged
  • Your Apple Watch passcode (get help if you forgot your passcode)


Have you satisfied these criteria, particularly the one having to do with activation lock?
