a link is there to verify https://iforgot.apple.com/appleid#!&section=appleid

if the account is secondary authentication , knowing Apple ID and correct password is not essential , users enter incorrect answers for security questions multiple times , date of birth , the account is locked , also they keep primary Apple ID address same as rescue mail address and code goes to it , and they have forgotten the password for rescue mail address or sometimes they don't add rescue mail address , some erase the account from server and 30 days are gone by in that case account can't be recovered ( they don't write down alfa numeric code ) , some might have issues with iTunes for every account the issue will different regarding payment methods or bill issue .
