Change Ipad identity without a password.x

I set up my iPad with a Yahoo log on but have not used it for so long that I have forgotten the password. Having tried everything I eventually returned the Ipad to factory settings BUT I still need the old password to change its identity. I have no idea what the password is so how do I overcome this problem? Many, many thanks
Kerrhona

Thank you but yahoo has not been my email address for a long time. I have tried with support but have got the wrong answers to secret questions and unable to have it emailed to me because I need a password to opern email. I have an iPhone 5 and old iPad that are registered with my bt account. I have no idea why I registered this iPad with yahoo. Any ideas? I appreciate any help. X

Resetting iPad 3 without iTunes password.

Hi all. Here's my situation:
We had a 12 year old exchange student from Colombia ,he had been staying with another family prior to us but apparently they didn't get along too well. Anyhow, long story short, he came to stay with us. A day or two after he got here I decided I'd wipe my iPad and let him use it for his time here. As it was, all he had was an iPod to communicate with his friends and family. Amonth or so in, my wife took the iPad away from him because he was up on it all night and then trying to play sick for school.
Fast forward a few weeks and Juanpablo is home in Colombia and we decided that seeing as how I rarely use my iPad, we would wipe it and give it to our oldest daughter for Christmas. (Juan left a collection of **** links on it, I suppose no surprise considering he's a 12 year old guy). I can't reset and clear the iPad without his Apple ID password. I've tried messaging him and his friend who was also an exchange student here, to no avail. I don't want to be a dick to him but worst case scenario I figure I can tell him to either disconnect my iPad from his account of I'll send his mom a copy of his browsing history! (Last resort)
Is there any way around this if he doesn't respond or disconnect the iPad from his account? I understand that this is likely the same request a thief would be making if he'd stole somebodies iPad, which is why it's proving to be such a pain in the butt. I have my receipt for the iPad, it was previously connected to my Apple ID, heck, it still has my SIM card in it, running. I don't know what else I would need, but can anybody offer me any advice on how to get this thing cleaned up and reset?
Thanks,
Kevin.

Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

How can I get into my iPad touch without my password?

My daughter has put a password on her iPod touch by mistake and now we can't get into her apps or settings. Anyone have any suggestions for us?
Please help! Thanks.

Place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore the iPOd via iTunes on its syncing computer. For recovery mode:

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.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple, Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

You may have to do this several times.
Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

Having AppleTV remember the password is optional.
Logout of iTunes store, log back in and hopefully next time you come to purchase you'll be prompted for your password but decline the option to remember it. You might also want to look out of parental controls on the unit.

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?

That is Activation Lock (an anti-theft system) and there isn't a way around it other than to recover your password. Apple can help with that: If you forgot your Apple ID password

You don't. You'll need the password to that Apple ID to get in and make any changes to the account. If you've forgotten the password, go here:

Change the Apple ID to a new one without a password?

I'm working on a company Imac IOS10.10.3. A former employe made an Apple ID on this machine. How can I erase or change the Apple ID to a new one without a password?
It's impossible now to update update certain apps like Imovie.

In the intro of the "Change Apple ID" is written:
"You can change your Apple ID to any other email address you control, as long as it's not already in use as an Apple ID."
That's my problem, it's al ready in use of an other Apple ID.

If the old ID is an earlier version of your new ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your new iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. You can now use your new password to turn off Find My iDevice 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 back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.
Note: this will not work if your new ID is an entirely new ID that was never previously associated with the old email address.
