Apple account (Apple ID) is an important identity for using Apple devices to download, synchronize, backup and other operations. However, sometimes we will encounter the situation that Apple's account is locked, which is usually caused by too many wrong password entries, wrong answers to security questions, or malicious locking by others. In order to protect account security and data integrity, it is important to know how to unlock locked Apple accounts. The following editor will give you a detailed introduction to the unlocking methods after the Apple account is locked, especially for Apple ID.

Analysis of reasons for Apple account being locked

The Apple account is usually locked for one of the following reasons:

Verification of identity information: Similar to ordinary Apple accounts, Apple ID may also require users to verify their identity information to unlock accounts in order to ensure security and privacy protection.
