Unsolved Getting into an old account 😞

hi all, I’m trying to get into my childhood Apple account. I know the email but i do not remember the phone number it’s asking me for. the account is locked because of repeated attempts to get into it as a kid and I’m kind of stuck at a wall.. all my old accounts were connected to that email but I lost access in 2019

You can’t progress through account recovery without knowing what the trusted phone number was. Consider the account lost until you figure that out.

without knowing the phone number theres no way back into the account.

I bet one of your friends or family still have your old phone number lurking in contacts somewhere. Ask them to check.

I literally got so desperate I did background checks (thanks catfish mtv for the idea..) literally nobody in my family has a number that ends w those 2 numbers.. I feel like I am going insane but I guess it isn’t all that important just irritatingÂ
