Don't lose you Apple ID password, guess too many times, and go into account recovery. Don't. Do. It.

And for all that is wholesome and good in this world, don't find yourself in that situation while your Mac is not signed into iCloud. Because guess why? You need the password. The one you don't have and are trying to recover. You need your fucking password to change your fucking password.

Let's just say that I'm exploring the outer reaches of a circular logic universe with the good folks at Apple.

1.5 months fucking around with this. H - O - L - Y Fuck.

    So today one of the support guys calls me at 9:00 am, because I fucking gave up last night to avoid completely losing my shit.

    The guy calls, and despite a case number, we start in on the same five fucking moves I've done 50 other fucking times with 50 other fucking Apple jockeys. So I says to him, I says, "Hey man, not your fault (hi @BennyBeaver ) , but I'm still waking up and am just not in the mood for this. I've been on that ferris wheel a few too many times and just can't do it right now. Let's schedule another call for me."

    He's calm and says, "Sure, no problem, but before I let you go, ...." Tequilla story made short, the guy asks if my wife's iPHone is on the account, etc. Oh, fuck me!! Turns out, that's a trusted device. We use one of the five moves I've done 50 mother fucking times, only this time we use her phone, and BOOM! Facts! @Ballz! It fucking works. Countless hours (seriously ... hours) and this fucker gets me out of Apple jail in less than 2 minutes.

    Just like in real life: it's all about running into the right guy. Pretty much nothing else matters.

    Holy shit, that's fucking family IT 101 shit. It IS your fault for not fucking thinking about other trusted devices.

    Good day sir.

    I said Good Day!
