If your Apple ID is locked or disabled https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204106 "If you or someone else enters your password, security questions, or other account information incorrectly too many times, your Apple ID automatically locks to protect your security and you can't sign in to any Apple services.
If you use two-factor authentication, you need a trusted device or trusted phone number to reset your Apple ID password and unlock your account. If you have a recovery key, you can also use it to help you regain access to your account. …
If you use security questions with your Apple ID, or if you don't have access to a trusted device or phone number, go to iforgot.apple.com. Then you can unlock your account with your existing password or reset your password. After multiple unsuccessful attempts to unlock your account, your Apple ID will remain locked and you can try again the next day.” Eventually you will end up in account recovery if you can’t answer them satisfactorily or you will be told “we don’t have sufficient information to reset your security questions."
Apple support might be able to help you before you enter recovery if you have your receipt for the purchase of a pertinent device from an authorized Apple seller with its serial number on it. You will need a photo ID also. See the support
options below to reach Apple Support for help. Alternatively, if an Apple Store
is open in your area, then you can go there to deal with your problem. In this
case, you can make a genius-bar appointment (https://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/) if you want.
