Cant remember iCloud account password???

OK so... My boyfriend and I share an iPad. My Apple ID is currently being used for most things on the iPad but my boyfriend made the iCloud account in his email so anyways now the guy can't remember the password, security question answer OR the password to the email he used when he set it up so he can't receive the email to re set... Our iCloud storage needs to be backed up like immediately but we can't do anything about it giving this situation. Any ideas?? iCloud won't let us back up or even sign out without the password.

The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required.
If you cannot get this information from the seller
Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
You need to return the Device for a refund, as you will not be able to re-activate it.

Cant delete icloud account without having to put the password

I wasn't able to remember my old iCloud account password from when i created before iOS7, I want to delete my account but it makes me type the password to disable Find My iPad and i cannot remember it which is the reason i want to delete it. I tried to reset password by answering security questions and sent an email but i never receive apple reset password emails for my new account either so i havent received one for my old cloud account either. I dont need or want to reset the password on my old account since i got a new one. What else can i do to just delete it?

If you could do what you want - you would manage to bypass Apple activation system lock. You can however contact Apple and ask for assist with password reset. Be prepared to prove that account on the phone is yours.

Is your icloud backup password the same as my icloud account password

is your icloud backup password the same as my icloud account password.
I can get into my icloud but i cant remember the icloud backup password.

Navigate to Settings > General > Reset > Erase all contents and settings on the device you want to restore.
When this completes and the Set-Up Assistant starts, choose "Restore from iCloud Backup" and enter your iCloud account and password. You will see the three most recent backups for each of the devices on which you enabled Backup. Choose which backup to restore from.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
As you are using Snow Leopard, read "Resetting your original administrator account password" > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1274 You have to start from the Mac OS X Snow Leopard disc, so you need an external optical drive or another Mac or PC to use Remote Install Mac OS X

ICloud account password

I have an iCloud account that I have forgotten the password. When I go to "appleid.com" I don't remember the password and when I select send to an email I never receive the email thus maybe don't have the correct email. Also when I use the secret question part I can't seem to find the right birthdate in there.
Where can I go to get in without using these means? Also I tried to delete the account and it won't let me without using the icloud account password.

You cannot delete the iCloud account that is signed on to Find My iPhone unless you know the password. This is called the Activation Lock:
ACTIVATION LOCK
It is an anti-theft security measure that is a part of iOS 7. You can only get around this by following the steps in this support article:
Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
Contact your friend. This is the only way around the lock.

Check your spam mail. If you have more than one email address verified with that apple id that email will go to the rescue email.

I cant change my icloud account password, email was hacked and need this all changed

I cant seem to change my icloud account info, need to change the email and password. was able to change it on the computer once but cant change that in my phone or ipad. any ideas

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted (if running iOS 7), then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.
If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, 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 iPhone on your device, 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.

I forgot my iCloud account password .

Hey guys .,
Here is some details about my problem ...
First of all I have forgot my iPhone's pincode so it has been locked , So I have been asked for my iCloud account and password to unlock it .
I know my iCloud account but i forgot its password , So I tried to reset it using the both ways (e-mail and security questions) , I forgot them also .
I have iPhone 4 S , latest version and I still remember my Apple ID with its password , if that helps .
Hope you help me guys .
**Sorry for my bad english

Your iCloud password is the same as your Apple ID password. When you say you remember your Apple ID with its password, are you indicating that you have a separate (and second) Apple ID used for your iCloud account? If so, and you need the Security Questions reset, contact Apple Support to have them reset them for you:
ACCOUNT SECURITY CONTACT NUMBERS
When you say you forgot your iPhone's PIN code, what code do you mean? Did you restore it and it is now asking for your iCloud password to turn off Find My iPhone, or are you talking about the 4-digit code that you can set on your Lock screen? If you are indicating you restored it, and you need the iCloud password, then the instructions provided above are what you need. If you are talking about your Lock screen code, then you need to follow these instructions:
iOS: Device Disabled

my hotmail account got hacked and i had to change my apple id to my yahoo account ,
the only probem is now i cant access my icloud account because its asking

Hi brattlee,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. This article has steps to take after you change your Apple ID:
Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5796
iCloud
iOS 6 and later: Go to Settings > iCloud.
If you signed out before changing your Apple ID, enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download to your device.
If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID:
Scroll down and tap Delete Account. Depending on what iCloud options are turned on, you'll be asked to confirm that you want to delete data from your device. To confirm, tap Delete. (If you're using iOS 7 and have Find My iPhone turned on, you'll be asked to enter the password for your previous Apple ID. Enter the password, then tap Turn Off.) The data will be deleted from your device, but not from iCloud.
Enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download again to your device.
Cheers,

ICloud account password reset problems

Hello!
I registered an iCloud account for my iPad mini. My username is [email protected]
The problem is I forgot the password. I asked for a password reset at iforgot.apple.com.
I checked all of my e-mail accounts when I figured out the email adress for my iCloud account is the [email protected] As I told I don't know my password so I can't sign in to my iCloud email to reset the password.
Please help me, because I restored my iPad and I can't activate it without sing in to iCloud.
Thanks,
oliverus

Did you set security questions? If yes, this might help you get in.
Another place to look is in Keychain Access and in your Browser settings.
Open Keychain Access in Applications/Utilities.
Select Login keychain in the top right.
You can enter iCloud in the top search box but you can also scroll through the list looking for the entry.
If you see the blue circle with @, select. Double click to open
You'll see the actual account listed so you'll know if it's the correct one.
Check the box to show password.
Enter your Login password for your User.
You'll see the password.
You might need to check several entries.
In Safari, go to Preferences > Passwords.
Check box to Show passwords.
Select the icloud.com site
Click on the password to view after entering your Login password for User.
If you used FireFox or Chrome, you would need to look in their preferences for the password.
TIP: When you can get in, add multiple recovery emails to the account. Write down your password and recovery emails and keep in a safe place. I recommend 1Password http://agilewebsolutions.com/products/1Password
I use a lot of fake answers and it's hard to remember so I keep these in secure notes in 1Password.
Tip: when Yosemite is released you might see 1Password on sale. It's not cheap but worth every penny.
