I set up my Mac Mini. Love it. I logged in and now my appleid says not active.

My Question is how do I log out of the "inactive AppleID without a password"?


I just want to log in using my other AppleID.

Why Accounts Become Locked:

When your iTunes Account has been disabled, and that often happens due to suspicious activity --- Perhaps nothing on your part. They disable it for no more than Security & Privacy concerns.


Possible Reasons Could Include: 

  • Too many unsuccessful login attempts
  • VPN (Virtual Private Network) usage
  • Consistent transactions
  • Session Times Out

Unfortunately, I still have to log out to do this. To log out I need a password. I go to apple.com go through reset password or lookup. Then it says the appleID is inactive.


I created this AppleID during set up 2 weeks ago. I do get the security warning the recovery process ends the same way.


I am stumped. Befuddled. Maybe even Dumbfounded.
