A few days ago, while entering my ID for a service, I accidentally typed and extra j at the beginning of my Id. It is supposed to start with *****@gmail.com...instead it says *****@gmail. When asked to confirm my ID I can't get in and also am not able to correct it back to the original. I have been terribly busy and not able to get back till now. Please find a way to have my Apple ID corrected
