and get it back, it becomes worst maybe
because they used the double verification
method but be it as it may, i will show you
how to recover it successfully without facing
much troubles. Follow me along.
USING SECURITY QUESTION AND EMAIL TO
RESET APPLE PASSWORD
Just like in the Google's android password
recovery, once you can remember the email

below steps.

However, if you have already set up two-step
verification then you need the recovery key that
you got while setting up two-step verification.
You will also need a trusted device to reset
and change the password. If you have forgotten
