How do I remove an iCloud account without using password?

There is no way if Find my iPhone is turned on. You must know the Apple ID and password. This is Activation Lock, an antitheft feature of iOS 7. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818

  • How do i delete an icloud account without a password

    I bought a i phone 4s  and i am trying to set it up.  Forgive me if these are obvious questions - i am new to all this.  I have a apple ID/password which i have created, however my current itunes account/icloud account are set up/picking up my old email address which i no longer have access to and dont know the password.  i have tried to delete the icloud account but it says i need a password.  I have tried the forgot password option on apple to which it doesnt recognise my birthday as being the same as their records for some reason, and i cant access the reset email as i dont have this address anymore.

    you can´t delete an icloud account without using the password.
    if you can confirm that your iphone is not locked to icloud device activation with this AppleID your are not aware and you have no access for - you can attempt to "erase all settings and content" on your iphone, to remove the icloud account from your iphone. all your data will be erased and iphone is set to factory settings

  • How do i remove an icloud account without signing out

    I was wondering how to remove an old icloud account. I have an iphone 4s, (ios 8.1.3). a pop up keeps coming up saying to sign into your icloud account, but it is under an old email that has been deactivated for years. I have a new icloud account, but I dont know how to sign into it on my device, because when i open icloud on my device, it says "sign into ********* and everything is grey (unclickable), including the Sign Out button at the bottom. I have no idea what to do now. please help

  • How to delete an old Icloud account without the password??

    I have three devices, iphone 5, 4 and IPAD.  I recently changed my appleID,  and all three devices have the same apple ID (I logged into apple using an apple ID and revised the apple ID and updated my password).  The problem is that the icloud account will not display my new appleID, only the old appleID, the appleID displayed  can’t be selected or edited.  1) The devices will not let me delete the account(s) without entering  a  password, but my apple ID password is associated with new appleID, not the old one. Question: How can an old login be removed, deleted or revised from Icloud when it no longer exist??

    If the old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Repeat this on your other devices.  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • How can I change the icloud account without knowing password

    I changed my use rid on all my other devices.. But this one my iPad mini. It still wants password for my old icloud id?

    Hi anniemarie83,
    If you've recently made changes to your Apple ID, you may need to manually log out and log back in on your devices. You may find the following article helpful:

    If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. You must use the previous owner's password to get permission to use the device. If you cannot get the password your father put on the iPad you will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

  • How can I reset my iCloud account without deleting all my contacts and photos on my iPhone.

    How can I reset my iCloud account without losing all my photos and contacts on my phone. I just want to clean up my iCloud.

    Not sure what you mean by "reset" your iCloud account, but if you want to clean up other data, just delete it from the apps on your phone that are syncing with iCloud, or from icloud.com.  They will be simultaneously deleted from iCloud and any devices syncing with iCloud.
    Similarly, if you delete photos from your my photo stream album, they will be deleted from your photo steam and any devices connected to your photo stream.  If you want to save them first, open the my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos to select them, tap Edit, tap Save to Camera Roll.

    How do I delete an icloud account which uses an email account no longer in use - I do not have the the passwrd for this account

    You will need the password. If you can't get it reset via http://iforgot.apple.com (if you remember the answers to the account's security questions then you should be able to reset it via them) then try contacting Support in your country, they should be able to reset it.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT569
    If your country isn't on that page then try this form and explain and see what they reply with : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
