software question about my apple ID
Have you been backing up your iPhone?  If so, you can do the following to restore the backups:


Go to Settings -> General -> Reset -> "Erase All Content and Settings"
It will ask if your sure, you are. 
When the phone resets, it will ask if you would like to set this up as a new phone or restore from backup... tell it you want to restore.
it will ask if it's an iCloud or iTunes based backup, give the correct answer.
Wait until the restore is complete.


Note that if you're doing this from iCloud, you'll need to be WiFi connected for quite some time for the restore to complete.

If you have NOT been syncing/backing up your iPhone, you may be out of luck :-(

Alternatively, if this is really a question about how to recover your AppleID &amp; Password, you'll need to follow these steps on Apple's website.
