Part 3. FAQs about Disabled Apple ID and Activation Lock

Q1. Why is the Apple ID disabled?

If you or someone repeatedly enters incorrect passwords and fails to remember the correct password for your Apple ID, your account is likely to be disabled for security reasons. Apple takes account security seriously and automatically locks or disables an Apple ID when multiple unsuccessful login attempts are made. This can also happen if you haven't used your Apple ID for a long time. When faced with these issues, you may see error messages such as:

• "This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons."
• "You can't sign in because your account was disabled for security reasons."
• "This Apple ID has been locked for security reasons."

Q2. What is Activation Lock?

The iCloud Activation Lock is closely tied to the "Find My iPhone" feature, which is automatically enabled to safeguard the data on a lost or stolen device. It will keep asking for the Apple ID password and prevent unauthorized individuals from using the device.
