My 13 year old had locked his apple account out

Hi,


how do I unlock my child’s apple account, when we don’t have access to the email address, and the questions for identity verification are saying wrong answers. I have him as a family member with me as the parent, is that enough??


thanks

I don't think so. Try How to use account recovery when you can’t reset your Apple Account password - Apple Support. You may have to abandon that Apple Account and create a new one for him, attached to an email address that you can access, and with recovery questions/answers that you write down somewhere and store safely.


Or ignore me and see the advice below. 🙂
