I've reset my iPhone and now I'm locked out because I forgot my Apple ID and password. I still have access to my phone number and the email linked to my account, so is there a way for me to get back into my iCloud account? I was using Face ID, but I can't remember my password, and now my phone is disabled. It's really frustrating, especially since I saved up for months to buy this phone. Any help would be appreciated!

If you have two-factor authentication enabled on your Apple account, you'll need to go through the account recovery process. Just reset the phone to wipe the forgotten passcode first, and then follow the steps on Apple's support site for recovery.
The whole account recovery process can be really annoying. It feels like a grueling experience that you have to go through just to regain access, which is pretty ridiculous.
Seriously, why is it so complicated? It shouldn’t be this hard to get back into my own account.
You can try visiting iforgot.apple.com for help with resetting your password.
And just brace yourself for the process—it can be pretty frustrating!
I already started the account recovery process yesterday, but is there anything else I can do in the meantime?
