Can I delete a excisting iCloud account without password

I bought this iphone from a friend and their signed into their iCloud, is there any way I can deleted their iCloud account cause they don't know their password

Hi Raaach,
Sorry, but there is no way to get around the Activation Lock without signing off the iCloud account that is signed onto the device. Have the person who sold you the device go to Manage your Apple ID and answer their security questions so they can reset their password:

If they can't remember their Security Question answers, they can contact iTunes Support to have them reset:

Once they know their Apple ID/iCloud password, they can either delete the iCloud account from the device directly, or they can follow this link to remove the device from their iCloud account remotely:

Best of luck,

  • Hi ! I got an iPhone 5 from someone who I don't know the real owner. Then I wanna change iCloud on it, but I don't know the password of owner. How can I log out that iCloud account without password ? Please help me, thank you

    You can't.
    Return the phone to whoever you bought it from and get a refund. Without the previous owners password you will not be able to enter your own iCloud acount, and when you update the phone, you won't be able to re-activate it as it will be locked to the previous owners account.
    You should've checked the phone was not locked to someone else's iCloud account BEFORE buying it.

  • How can i delete previous i cloud account without password

    i bought used iphone4 from local seller, but it is showing previous user icloud account, i have created my new icloud account but i cant delete previous user iclud account and its keep asking password how can i delete previous user icloud account from my phone,thankx

    You cannot delete the account of the previous owner without the password. Please contact your seller in order to get a refund or if you have the contact data of the previous owner then try to contact him to get his password. Unfortunately, there will be no other solution to get your phone properly working again.

  • How can I delete & change an iCloud account without the old password?!

    I set-up my iCloud with a hotmail account which is no longer active. How can I delete it?! I do NOT know the password any more and I've written several times to request it with no help from Microsoft. I NEED to restore my 4S but CAN'T without turning OFF the "Find My iPhone" service- blah! I am required to enter the password and have tried EVERY password I've ever used!

    If you can't remember the security questions or the pass code (if you have set up 2 step verification), then your options are your rescue address or in some circumstances a call to Apple, but unless they are able to provide Apple some evidence the account is theirs (which is far from the case so far) Apple won't do anything.
    (which is hardly a 'rescue' address if it can't be used)
    I'm not sure you realise where this is going. It should be able to be used, even if the OP has forgotten the password to that account as well as their password to the Apple ID and all the security questions which are questions about them, there is no reason they shouldn't be able to reset their hotmail address receive the reset mail from Apple and unlock their account.

  • I want to update iCloud account with new apple id but don't know password for old apple id.  Plus can no longer receive email at old apple id.  How can I delete the current iCloud account on my iPhone if the previously stated conditions exist?

    I want to update iCloud account with new apple id but don't know password for old apple id.  Plus can no longer receive email at old apple id.  How can I delete the current iCloud account on my iPhone if the previously stated conditions exist?

    If the old ID is yours, and if it is an earlier version of your current ID, go 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).  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.

    You can't delete the account, you can just stop using it (sign out on a Mac, delete account on an IOS device). The account itself will still exist.

  • HT4759 How can i delete an old iCloud account and start using my own using my Apple ID? If I don't have the old password??

    How can i delete an old iCloud account and start using my own using my Apple ID? If I don't have the old password??

    If your device is signed into an old iCloud ID that is an earlier version of the ID you want to sign in with, do the following:
    If you are using iMessage and FaceTime, make sure you are signed into these services with your current ID.  If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
    Then 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.  (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.)  Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID).  Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless you are using iCloud Photo Library).  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (or Delete Account if you are not running iOS 8) and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).

  • My mum set up an iCloud account and forgot the password, and this caused me to create a new account. The new account works for the App Store and all that, but I can't change the initial iCloud account without the password. Help?

    My mum set up an iCloud account for my iPhone 4 but forgot the password. This caused me to create a new account, and it can be used for the App Store and iTunes and all that, but I can't change the initial iCloud account (the one my mum made). My device keeps prompting me for the password every few minutes after updating to iOS 8, and I've tried every option possible to retrieve the password, but I don't even know the answers to the security questions and I can't find the password reset email anywhere and I don't know the back up emails my mum used. I literally cannot find any legitimate way to sign out of the initial iCloud account without entering a password (which neither I nor my parents know). Is there a way for me to retreive the password or change to my new account without the password?
