Right, so, I reset my iPod through iTunes since there was something going on with my iMessage and all that and I couldn’t resolve it

I got the activation lock stream where I got asked to enter and the password for my Apple ID, but here’s the thing
The Apple ID I haven’t used since early 2022, I don’t know the password, all trusted devices have been either stolen or managed to be reset, and I have no way to get into that account and reset the password to continue the process of my iPod

Can somebody please help me, Owen BTW Apple is doing Jack to help me

It sounds like there's nothing you can do.

If you can't get into the account and reset the apple ID then I doubt it can be fixed.

Let's hope someone proves me wrong.

I honestly didn't know you could still buy Ipods.

It's been a long time since I had to reset my Apple ID password, but I remember there were many options available to prove ownership of the account.

Good luck.

Do you have access to the email account used to set up that apple id you an login to from another device so you can receive instructions once you press the forgot password button?

Remain adamant that account with my iPhone, I have absolutely no way to get into the Apple ID, I know the email address I know the email address but since Apple is refusing to help with some really stupid reason I don’t know what to do

My iPhone 12 was the creator of the Apple ID, but since that got stolen I have no way to get into the Apple ID. Apple is refusing to help
As for the iPod touch, well. I have that’s been sold awkward in the dumpster. I left it back at my mum‘s house with some other things I didn’t want, somebody else can do that activation lock problem. It’s probably not even worth the time and barely any any apps at all work on iOS 9
