How to recover locked/ stolen Apple ID?

My apple id was locked after it was stolen by someone couple years ago.

Is there anyway I can reuse it?

If a message says your Apple ID is locked or disabled "for security reasons"", the document If your Apple ID is locked or disabled - Apple Support directs you to reset your password as outlined in this article --> If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support

If you use two-factor authentication and can’t sign in or reset your password, you can regain access after an account recovery waiting period, as outlined in this document: How to use account recovery when you can’t reset your Apple ID password - Apple Support


If it is for another reason, contact Apple for help with Apple ID account security --> Contact Apple for help with Apple ID account security - Apple Support
