Changed my apple id however cannot now use this new password to finish setting up iCloud on new iPhone bought today. HELP

Hello,
This afternoon I bought a new iPhone 6! Everything was good until I needed to submit my Apple ID password to finish setting up iCloud. 
I forget this password and so reset the password.  This password works on my computer however not on the iPhone when trying to complete setting up iCloud onto my new iPhone. 
Can anyone please help!?
Greatly appreciated!

Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime 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 iPad 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 using iCloud Photo Library).  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out 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 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).

  • We've had our MBP for a year, set up with my Apple ID. Got an iPad recently and set up with another Apple ID. Would now like to sync the two and set up iCloud/PhotoStream. How to do since have two different Apple IDs?

    We've had our MBP for a year, set up with my Apple ID. Got an iPad recently and set up with husband's Apple ID. Would now like to sync the two and set up iCloud/PhotoStream between the two. How to do since have two different Apple IDs? Thanks!

    Just out of curiosity, why did you elect to use a different id?.  That seems to always make things difficult.  If you have not had the pad for long, or have not bought a lot of stuff Nader the new id, you might want to think about erasing all content, turn off find my phone, wiping the pad and starting over.
    You can sync 2 different ids ( at least move pictures, books and music back and forth) if you are syncing through I tunes on your computer, but I don't think you can cross feed I cloud streams.

  • How can I delete my iCloud account when I have changed my Apple ID and cannot now sign out as do not have the original Apple ID and password.

    I am unable to delete my iCloud account from my device. This is because I recently changed my Apple ID email/ username which now means when I try to delete my iCloud account to log back in with my new Apple ID I am unable to as it requests my old Apple ID username and password which no longer exist. i am on IOS 8.1. Can someone help me find a solution to this?

  • I have restored my IPad to factory settings however cannot now get in as password is incorrect

    I have restored IPad to factory settings however can not get now as password is not working.  I have tried the initial password and also using 0000. 

    The following pertains to an upgrade to iOS 7, but it does say something about the "Skip" link:
    After installing iOS 7 you may be asked to provide a passcode; if you haven't ever defined one...
    If you don't see the word "skip" in small blue letters try the following.  Otherwise tap "skip".
    Enter any number and remember what it is.  See if this lets you in.  If so, go to Settings>General>passcode lock.  enter the number and then you can turn off passcode (a vary bad idea, as many have discovered when their devices were stolem) or turn off and then on using a different number.
    If your device is disabled at this point...
    Connect to your computer in recovery mode per the instructions in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
    You may need to do this more than once.

Try to do this I keep getting an error message saying ‘This email address is designated as your rescue email address and cannot be used as your Apple ID or Primary email address.

  • I had to change my Apple ID because it was using an email I no longer have access to.  I cannot update apps.  HELP

    I had to change my Apple ID because it was using an email I no longer have access to.  I was able to change it just fine.  Now when I try an upodate my apps, it brings up my old Aple ID name so I am unable to update my apps.  How do I change the that?

    Hi tabby4800,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like you may have created a new Apple ID and not edited the old one. Any applications that were downloaded from the old account will need the Apple ID and password from the account that downloaded them to update. You can either enter the password for that account or delete the applications and download them fresh from your new account to resolve this issue. Please refer to the following discussion for further information.

  • I changed my apple ID = however my old Apple ID is appearing on my devices and I cannot sign in

    I changed my apple ID = however my old Apple ID is appearing on my devices and I cannot sign in to my new apple id How do I change this?

    Hi Douglas, 
    If any of your devices were signed in after you have made the change then you will need to temporarily change your Apple ID back to what it originally was. Once you have gone back, you will be able to sign out of any account and then change the Apple ID back to what you want it to be. Then just sign in and you will be good to go. For more information take a look at the article below.

    Apps are always tied to the ID that was used to purchase them originally. Did you try entering your old password and see if that works?
    If you need to sign out of your old account go to Settings>Store>Tap on your ID and sign out. Sign in with the new one.
    you can also access your ID in the featured tab of the App Store. Swipe to the bottom of the screen and you will find it there as well.

    Thank you soooo much!!  I have been trying to figure out how to fix this for ages.  This worked.
    I used to synch to my work computer and changed jobs and my home computer does not have a high enough version of Windows for iTunes to synch and I just haven't wanted to invest in that.  I am fine if I can just download directly onto my phone and now I can thanks to you!
    I really appreciate it!

    If the thief enabled activation lock on the device, then there is nothing that can be done.  Only the password for the Apple ID that it is locked with can disable activation lock.

    Use Internet Recovery. You shouldn't need an AppleID. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4718
    Internet Recovery will install the OS that shipped with the Mac. You can then upgrade to Mavericks if that was not it.
    Do you have an App Store account? Did you ever use it to install the OS?
