Hello, this is driving me mad. I have an iPad mini. One day out of the blue I got locked out. I try to log back in again and again, it keeps telling me my Apple ID is locked. I thought I used the wrong password. I went to Apple's site try to unlock, then it asks me to set a new password. I did. Then I use the new password to log in, it gives me the same msg again, then it ask me to unlock my Apple id again, this same process repeat over and over again, put me in a endless infinite loop. What to do?

This has happened many times to me when I disabled 2FA.

I never entered a wrong password, sometimes I was even already logged in when it happened and had to setup a new password and security questions almost daily.

I gave up and enabled 2FA and it never happened again.
