Reasons why Your Apple ID Has Been Disabled


At this point, the biggest question of course is why is your Apple ID disabled? There's basically one answer: for your security. Apple automatically disables Apple IDs when someone tries to log into them too many times using the wrong password, security questions, or other account information.
This could happen just because you're forgetful or you accidentally type the wrong password too many times. More likely, though, someone is trying to gain unauthorized access to your Apple ID.
A standard hacking technique is to try logging into an account with all kinds of guesses for things like passwords. Rather than allow that to happen, and potentially put your account at risk, Apple disables the Apple ID account that may be getting hacked after a few incorrect entries. Then, only the user who really owns the account and knows the right information can re-activate it.
When your Apple ID is disabled, you can't log in – even with the correct password – until you re-enable the account.
