I forgot apple ID and password

Hi fhyp1971,

You should only need one Apple ID to use across all of your Apple devices. Typically, a second Apple ID isn't needed unless you intend to use it for work purposes, or for publishing content to Apple's content stores (iTunes Store, App Store, Books Store, etc.)

Nonetheless, if you forgot your Apple ID and/or its password, Apple's iForgot service can help you: https://iforgot.apple.com

Hi guys

In november 2021 I bought a Mac Book Pro for my job, that's the reason why I created a new Apple Id and a password for my new Mac.

But... In december I took some weeks for holidays and when I came back I forgot, maybe the ID itself, the password of the ID and the password of my Mac.

I'm trying and trying to recover it but it is impossible.

Can you please help me?

Thank you very much!!!

If you encrypted your Mac’s boot disk with FileVault 2 —

this prevents you from using your Apple ID to reset your password
