Hi, How can I delete my icloud account on my iphone? I don't have that email address I was using before anymore and I already tried deleting the account but it is asking for the password and I don't remember it.
Hi ale.vica,
You need to go to Manage your Apple ID, https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/, and sign in with your current Apple ID and password and do the following:
1. Edit your current Apple ID and change it back to the ID which is displaying for your iCloud account. You do not need to verify it - this is only a temporary change
2. Go into Settings>iCloud on your device and delete the iCloud account. Use your current password when your are prompted for a password
3. Once the old iCloud account is deleted, go back into Manage your Apple ID and change your ID back to the current one
4. Go back to Settings>iCloud and sign on with your current ID and password
That should take care of your issue!
Cheers,
GB

Hi Tummy62,
I apologize that I'm a bit unclear on the exact issue you are having, but if you are having issues setting up iCloud on your iPhone, you may find this page helpful:

I set up airport wifi with a WEP password, but it never asks for the password and anyone can enter my network...what to do?
Is it possible to backtrack your way out of the keychain?
Yes:
Run the Keychain Access utility found in \Applications\Utilities
In the category column (on the left side of the utilities' window), select "All Items."
In the right column look for your Network Name. It will have a "Kind" of "AirPort network password."
Delete every entry that has both your Network Name with this Kind.
What can I do to test or reset?
You can completely erase all the base station's passwords by performing either a "hard" or "factory default" reset. You can also temporarily disable these passwords for up to five minutes so that you will have enough time to change them using the AirPort Utility, by just performing a "soft" reset. I would recommend this one first.
This would also be a good time to consider using WPA or WPA2, instead of WEP, as WEP is no longer considered secure.
I got the airport extreme based used with no softward and set up with reset on airport base and followed instructions.
You can download a copy of the AirPort Utility, that runs on OS X Tiger here. -

I have restored my i phone 4 and trying to restore from the back, but it is asking for the password, but when I entered the Itunes password it is not accepting it, how can I restore the password?
Hello hskod,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information, take a look at:
iOS: Troubleshooting encrypted backups
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5162
You can keep trying to restore the device from backup until you remember the password. If you're having trouble, try:
Leaving the password field blank
Your Apple ID password
Your computer account password, if you have one
Email passwords you may have used
Your Wi-Fi network password
Website passwords you may have used
A password for hard-disk encryption software, if you use it
Have a nice day,

I want to change it to my husbands so all of our information syncs on to my iphone and our ipad, but will this completely delete my iCloud account? and by doing this how will my phone change (such as contacts, photos etc.) ?
Bad idea.
What information do you want to share, exactly? You can share contacts, reminders, and calendars with other iCloud users without the need for both of you to use the same iCloud account. You can authorize both phones to use apps purchased under the same Apple ID without sharing an iCloud account.
Sharing an iCloud account is a bad idea in general. There is too much opportunity for someone to damage or delete data that will affect both. -
My iphone 5s was turned off and now it's asking for the password which i don't remember
Please help. My son has the Iphone 5s. He used his fingerprint and of course a passcode when setting it up. Last night the phone was shut completely off and now it won't take his fingerprint and is asking for his passcode which he doesn't remember. Can anyone help with this?
Yes. If you've forgotten your passcode, use this article: iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong ...

How can I change my iCloud account on my iPhone?
I had to change my email for my apple id, after deleting my email account. In the past few days, my phone has been promting me to login to my account, however, it prompts mme with the old email. I didn't change my password when switching emails, but it still does not recognize that password.
I did my research and I stumbled upon threads who suggested deleting the iCloud account from my phone. However, here's my problem:
When attempting to delete my account, it asks me to turn off Find My iPhone, which requires my password. It then sends me back into the loop of not recognizing my password with my old iCloud email.I went into iCloud on my iPhone 3gs (I know it's really old but had to sort this prob out as have upgraded to 5c ) and turned off Find My iPhone. I then deleted the account, making sure I backed up the photos in the photostream first. I then went back into iCloud on my iPhone 3gs and my new email address appeared. I was then able to create a new iCloud account with my new password. Hope this works for you too

I'm getting so tired of this.
Any ideas on what to do ?You won't be able to change your rescue email address until you can answer 2 of your questions, you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down this page to update your rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 -
after synching/backing up to my laptop, it is requiring a password for backup and its not accepting any i know....please help....my phone is completely empty and i am lost
What password is it asking you for? Sounds like you've encountered 'activation lock'. It's an anti-theft feature. You need to enter the ID and password for the Apple ID you used to enable Find my iPhone before you can activate the phone.

How can I reset the passcode/connect the device to iTunes/restore?
If you follow the steps below closely, it should not ask you for passcode.
Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times. -
HT4623 when trying to reinstate an app it asks for my password and doesnt accept my newpassword
Why wont my app accept my new password to download updated version of apps
All apps are forever tied to the Apple ID used to originally purchase them. They cannot be transferred to a new ID, nor can they be updated using any ID pther than the ID used to originally obtain them. So, in your case, you have two choices: 1. Delete this app/apps & re-purchase using your new ID; or 2. Contact iTunes support, explain the situation, & request that they add this app/apps to the download queue of your new ID. If they agree, then just delete the old app/apps:

Help
Try going to Settings>iTunes & App Store, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your updated credentials.
