Change password in Icloud (not reset password)

The AppleID password was resetted from an Iphone. Now I know the new password but how do I change the password of Icloud on the mac. Prefering without having to say signout since the Icloud on the mac has not had the chance to sync the calendar for a few days already. And signing out removes everything connected to Icloud from the computer. Or does it keep the information that didn't have the chance to sync yet? And changing the password back again is no option since it was to hard for the boss to remember.

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 iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
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.

  • Hi. I tried to change my old icloud account on a new one. After reset the settings I need to enter my old Apple ID account and password, that I don't remember.

    Hi. I tried to change my old icloud account on a new one. After reset the settings I need to enter my old Apple ID account and password, that I don't remember.
    I do not remember it because when I bought the my iPhone 4s in 2011 I didn't understand how it works and asked a representative to set it up for me. The representative helped me and gave a piece of paper with login and password but I lost it a long time ago.
    Before resetting the settings I turned off "Find my iPhone" function, but it anyway asks me to enter my old Apple ID and password. I have the original box, documents, receipt. So how can I solve this problem?

  • I have a new email and am trying to change it in icloud. but it has locked me out and won't send my email a reset password link for some reason. even though it says its sent, it doesnt come to the email address

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
    You will need to show patience with the procedure and be prepared to demonstrate without question that the account belongs to you. Don’t expect access to be restored immediately and if you aren’t the owner of the Apple ID registered to the device the account won’t be reset.

    I forgot my iCloud password, and i can not reset it with email authentication, when i do it, i don't receive any mail from Apple

    If you don't know your password, don't know your security questions and don't have a rescue address or don't receive a reset email, you should contact AppleCare who will initially try to assist you with a reset email or if unsuccessful will pass you to the security team to reset your security questions for you.
    If you are in a region that doesn't have international telephone support try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support.

  • After loading iTunes I can not access my iCloud especially I have reset my password and iCloud not recognize it

I had to reset my password on Apple.com and it's working but iCloud not recognize my new password. Also could not share my pictures in the iCloud. I have tried many option none worked. Please help

    An Apple ID is used for everything (including this site) and including iCloud. See the quote below from https://appleid.apple.com/
    There is no such thing as an iCloud password but it is possible that you have 2 Apple IDs and you are using one of them for iCloud.
    An Apple ID is your user name for everything you do with Apple: Shop the iTunes Store, enable iCloud on all your devices, buy from the Apple Online Store, make a reservation at an Apple Retail Store, access the Apple Support website, and more.

    Hello Jbug0409,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you’re running into an Apple ID password issue on your iPod touch, and you’ve created another account which you weren’t able to verify because you didn’t receive the verification email.
    Try resetting the Apple ID password for the account that’s already on your iPod touch as shown here:
    If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
    Also, take a look at this article which provides troubleshooting suggestions that’ll resolve most issues receiving verification emails.

  • I changed my iTunes password on my device, but now I can't change it on iCloud

    I had to change my apple id login and password on iTunes.  I was able to change it on iCloud on my iPhone 4S, but can not change it on my iPad.  My old login is on my iCloud on the iPad, but as I no longer remember my old password, the iPad won't even let me reset to factory setting.  Any idea what I can do?  It's frustrating have two devices that should work in together, not being able to communicate. 

    If the old ID is yours, and if your current ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new 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 iPad on your iPad, 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 iPad 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 had to set up a new email ID, because I no longer had access to my old email address and Adobe was forcing me to change password, but I could not access the verification email. Now I cannot read my books under my new ID, even though I got Adobe support

    I had to set up a new email ID, because I no longer had access to my old email address and Adobe was forcing me to change password, but I could not access the verification email. Now I cannot read my books under my new ID, even though I got Adobe support to set up my new ID.

    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare(or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
    The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
    The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
    Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
    Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
    Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

  • If someone has wiped my ipad and changed passwords on icloud how do i get my data back

    if someone has wiped my ipad and changed passwords on icloud how do i get my data back? please could someone help me out thanks

    How did they wipe it?  By using Find My iPad and performing a wipe?  If so, that means they have your icloud ID and password, not a good thing.
    You could try connecting it to iTunes and performing a restore from iCloud.  But if they changed password, then you are out of the loop.  How did they get your password in order to change it?

  • In Portal Anonymous mode - Change password option not coming- login fails

    Hi Experts,
         We are having some application which requires login in anonymous mode. When we click the application and give the user id password, it loggs in properly, there is no problem in that.
        But if the password is reset by administrator, then when entering the reset password given by admin it should ask to change the password. This is happening in normal scenario(/irj/portal), but when try the same in anonymous mode(irj/portal/anonymous) where the prompt is from the login required application, then it says login failed instead of giving the change password and confirm password screen.
    Appreciate your help in solving this issue. I hope many would have faced similar situation.
    Thanks
    Yusuf

    Hi Yusuf.
    Do you use a standard or custom login module for your application?
    More likely the used login module does not have a logic that handles such scenario as a change of user's password.
    In this case you need to implement a custom module with a required functionality.
    Best regards,
    Aliaksandr Zhukau
