My brother Randomly chosen the Apple ID without knowing that This Apple ID will be used as Email ID.


So , my brother kept the ID randomly and recently he forgot the PassCode and IPhone is Disabled After few attempts with invalid Pass code and to reset the Apple ID we have tried to reset the password but it is sending a reset link to the email id which we set as Apple ID but reset link for Apple ID is forwarding to unknown email id.


Could you please change the Email ID for the Apple ID and give the appropriate solution for this issue.

We can't, and Apple won't, change anything about an account for you.


See Get a verification code and sign in with two-factor authentication https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204974  Below is an excerpt, but read the whole document. See the bold italics below.

 

Whenever you sign in with your Apple ID on a new device or browser, you'll confirm your identity with your password plus a six-digit verification code. There are a few ways you can get a verification code. You can use the code displayed on your trusted device, get a text or phone call, or generate a code from your trusted device [see the additional information in the article]

 

A trusted device is an iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch with iOS 9 and later or a Mac with OS X El Capitan and later that you've already signed into using two-factor authentication.

 

If you can’t sign in, reset your password, or receive verification codes, you can request account recovery to regain access to your account. This link takes you to:

 

Recover your Apple ID when you can’t reset your password https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204921which you may need to use.

 

Account recovery might take a few days or longer, depending on the specific account information you can provide to verify your identity. After you request account recovery, you'll get an email with a confirmation of your request and the date and time of when you can expect to regain access. … When the wait period is over, Apple sends you a text or automated phone call with instructions to regain access to your account. Follow the instructions in the above link to immediately regain access to your Apple ID..

if you/he are the original owner, contact Apple. Apple can remove the Activation Lock if provided the required paperwork. Either take the device, the original purchase receipt with the serial number, and a photo ID to the nearest Apple Store (if it has reopened)
