In this video I show you what to do when you get the “cannot reset Apple ID password” error on your iPhone or iPad. The first thing I always check is the basics that usually cause this loop: your network and VPN. I go into Settings and make sure I’m on a stable, strong connection, then I open General > VPN & Device Management and disconnect any VPN because that can block Apple ID verification and password changes. After that, I fix the common system-side triggers: I turn on Date & Time “Set Automatically,” I check for a software update, and then I reset the network stack by going to Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset Network Settings. If the “Change Password” option is blocked or acting weird, I also go into Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions and disable restrictions, because sometimes account changes get restricted there. Finally, I do a force restart (volume up, volume down, then hold power until the screen goes black and the Apple logo appears), then I retry the reset from Settings > Apple ID > Sign-In & Security > Change Password. If it still won’t change, I recommend signing into your Apple ID on another trusted device you’ve used recently.
