If you use two-factor authentication and can’t sign in or reset your password, you can regain access after an account recovery waiting period.
What is account recovery?
Account recovery is a process designed to get you back into your Apple Account when you don’t have enough information to reset your password. For security reasons, it might take several days or longer before you can use your account again. We know this delay is inconvenient, but it’s important so that we can keep your account and information safe.
