Sometimes we just forgot our important and sensitive information such as Apple ID password, security questions, and rescue email. What do we do if we are in this kind of situation?
You may want to retrieve your Apple ID password. But no way, it will ask you to answer the security questions. If you can still remember, okay, you can reset a new password for your Apple ID. But if not, you need to provide the security/rescue email to Apple for verification. What? You have nothing to provide? Then you can do nothing!
More precisely, you can do nothing to recover your Apple ID password and get it back.
However, there is still one thing you can do, which is to remove this Apple ID from your iPhone or other iOS devices and then create a new one. This can solve your problem.
But how? There are several ways you can follow.
Way 1: Remove Apple ID from Your iPhone by PasscodeGo
Way 2: Remove Apple ID from Your iPhone using iTunes
Way 3: Remove Apple ID from Your iPhone using Settings
