Change the iPhone account without current password
Hi,
Recently, I've upgraded an iPhone to iPhone-6 for my mom, and all of apps and data were backed up and restored with iTunes. But unfortunately, as she can't remember her password for her account, nothings can be activated. After all of my tries, I gave up retrieving her password. So I create a new apple account. But unfortunately again, I couldn't log-out from current account because I don't know the old password. Really really frustrated!!!
Here is the question, how can I switch iPhone account by without current password?
You can't. If you are being prevented from logging out, that means Find my iPhone is on, and as an anti-theft mechanism, no one can sign out without the password. You'd be better off trying to retrieve the old ID. Call Apple: 1-800-MY-APPLE, and ask to talk to the account security team.

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:

Changing the RunAs account without reinstalling Workflow Manger
For SharePoint 2013 installation, I need to change the RunAs account.
is it possible to change the RunAs account without reinstalling Workflow Manger/SB Manager without complete uninstall? Even if I remove all servers from the farm, seems like the RunAs account is always in Management db, so RunAs account is pre-populated
with the old account.
Thank youTo change the RunAs account of the Service Bus, use following PowerShell commands:
Stop-SBFarm
Set-SBFarm -RunAsAccount Domain\Username
$RunAsPassword = ConvertTo-SecureString
-AsPlainText -Force
'<password>'
[RunOnAllNodes] Update-SBHost
-RunAsPassword $RunAsPassword
Start-SBFarm
Then open the Service Control Manager and navigate to Workflow Backend Service and change manually the account.
Restart the Wf Service.

We want to change the Primary iCloud account on one of the businesses computers and all it tells us is to delete it. We don't want to because we're afraid this will also delete all the meetings and other things saved on this account. Can anyone tell us how to simply change and not delete. Or can you let us know if you do lose anything if you delete an iCloud account??
ThanksNever mind, I figured it out!

How to remove an old iCloud account from my IPad. The account (email) was on my dad's name and he resently change it and now i can't reset or delete his iCloud account without his password. Please advise on the procedure. Thanks.
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 do I change the email account for icloud on my iphone only
How do I change the email account for icloud on my iphone6 only. I don't want to change my ipad or my husband's iphone6. Currently all 3 devices have the same gmail account associated with them. I have created a new & separate apple id and I want that on my phone but I can't figure out how to delete his email from my phone.
To change iCloud accounts you have to go to Settings>iCloud, sign out, then sign back in with your other ID to create your new account. If you want to migrate a copy of the iCloud data to the new account, start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save Image. If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out, choose Keep on My iPhone and provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone when prompted. Then sign back in with your new Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload the data to your new account. Once you are on a separate account you can go to iCloud.com and delete your husband's data from your account (and he can do the same with yours).
Just be aware that the current @icloud.com email address cannot be moved to the new account, nor can the current my photo stream album (which is why you need to save any my photo stream photos you want to keep to your iPhone before signing out of the existing account). -
I want to use the same account for all my apple devices (macbook air, imac and iphone). I can't see how I can amend the iphone account because it is in grey? I also can't remember the password for this account so i can't even delete it and start again?
Help!
ThanksDeleting an iCloud account only deletes it from the Device, not from iCloud. In iOS 8, the name of this setting changed to "Sign Out" as that is a better reflection of what actually happens. Your iCloud data remains on the server, available to devices still signed into the account, but the device you sign out of the account on is disconnected from the account, and as a result, the iCloud data from that account is removed from the device. It will redownload to the device should you sign back into the account.
The only issue you'll run into when you switch between accounts is with my photo stream photos older than 30 days. When you delete (or sign out of) and account, your photo stream photos are deleted along with the other data from the account in question. However, unlike other data which remains on the server and can redownload to your device when you sign back in, my photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days. When you sign back in, you will only get back my photo stream photos added in the last 30 days (as older photos are no longer in iCloud to redownload). Like other account data, any my photo stream photos on your other devices signed into the account are unaffected by this. If you want to keep older my photo stream photos on your device as you change iCloud accounts, save them to your camera roll before deleting (signing out of) the account. -

Can I change the I-tune username and password for this I-pad to the username and password used on my husband's I-pad?
You can log out of the account that is used for purchasing content by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and you can then log back in with a different account - any content that was downloaded by the currently logged in account will remain tied to that account, so only that account will be able to download updates to its apps.
If you use iTunes Match, automatic downloads or redownload an account's past purchases then you may tie your iPad to that account for 90 days : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627 - so you won't be able to any of those three things on a different account until the 90 days have completed
For iCloud you can remove the existing account via Settings > iCloud > Delete Account -
Hi Apple Team, I would like to change the iCloud account on my iPhone, however it says I must 'delete the account' before doing so? Does this mean that I delete the entire existing account, or just delete it from my phone specifically?
From the iPhone only.

How do i change the icloud account on my iphone to a different existing account
I have a business iPhone 5S on which the iTunes account is associated with the Apple ID I signed up for using my business e-mail. I signed in to iCloud with a personal Apple ID account to get some of my personal music onto the device. I have been trying to find out how to change the iCloud account to my business Apple ID. I'd like to be able to switch back and forth if I want. I have read several posts that advise deleting the iCloud account, but I still have personal devices I would like to continue to use with this Apple ID and iCloud account. The extent of the deletion is not addressed.
If I use the delete account under iCloud, does that delete it from the device, or does it delete it permanently? Tried adding my business email to the iCloud account, but it won't let me because it is associated with another Apple ID (duh). Am I stuck here?
iPhone 5S, iOS 8.1 - just updated.

Recently, I discovered I have two iCloud accounts. Is it possible to change the Apple ID for one of the accounts to match the other account, without losing the information from either account.
thanksWelcome to the Apple Community.
It's a little tricky to move data from one iCloud account to another but it can be done. But what makes you think you have 2 iCloud accounts. -
HT3965 how do i change the iCloud account information on my iPhone?
How do i change the iCloud Account information for an iphone. I set up my wifes iPhone and my phone with the same iCloud Account name name. Later, i added another phone on my ATT account for my mother, but made an Apple iCloud Account in her name. Now, to use the find my iphone feature, i need to change her iCloud account user name to be the same as mine. How do I change that?
You dont need to change the iCloud account to use that feature, when you use find my iPhone all you would need to do is sign into her iCloud account to locate her iPhone.
If you want to change the account used on the iPhone for iCloud then go to settings>icloud and select the option at th bottom that says "delete account" then select "keep on my iphone". After that you then sign in with your iCloud account. -
My sister got the 5S, so she has given me her old 4S. She got the IMEI code from her network to allow me to unlock it. When I plug the phone into my computer, how do I use the IMEI code to unlock it on iTunes. The text my sis got from O2 says, "Apple have confirmed the iPhone IMEI 01.....etc. is set to unlock. To complete, connect the device to iTunes with a SIM never used in the iPhone". But I'm not sure what to do, I already connecting the iPhone with my SIM to iTunes... What next? Also how do I change the iCloud account connected to the phone (hers) to my own?
Thanks.Please see your duplicate post below.
