Hey Arpit Aggarwal,
Thanks for the question. It may be possible that a rescue email address was setup on your account:
Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
When creating a new Apple ID for use with the iTunes Store or Mac App Store, you will be asked to provide an optional rescue email address. If you have an existing Apple ID that you use with the iTunes Store or Mac App Store, you may be asked to provide some additional security information, including a rescue email address. When you provide a rescue email address, all future security emails, such as password resets from iForgot, will be sent to the address provided. The rescue email address you provide cannot be the same as your primary email address for your Apple ID. In most cases, your primary email address is the same as your Apple ID username.
It may be helpful to request a password reset once more (via iforgot.apple.com), then check any prior email accounts you owned (including their respective junk/spam folders). If you continue to have issues, it may be necessary to contact our Account Security Team:
Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security

Thanks,

How do you change passwords in email accounts?? Have new iPhone and no record of previous passwords. Dumb I know but I'm in a real bind.....
See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5787. (Your iCloud ID is also an Apple ID.) If you don't have access to your old email account and can't use security question authentication to reset your password, you'll have to do one of the following to turn off Find My iPhone so you can chang the iCloud account on your phone:
If you still have access to your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email account and verify it. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You should then be able to turn off Find My iPhone with your password. Then 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 and change your primary email address and iCloud ID back to the way it was. You will then be able to go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current ID and password to reconnect to your iCloud account.
If you don't have access to your old email address, you will have to contact Apple to get them to reset the password for it so you can disable Find My iPhone and sign into your iCloud account. You will have to prove your identity to them in order to do so. You can either contact iTunes support for assistance with this (https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html), or contact Apple Support (http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/). -
How do I change password and email address?
I cannot change my password and email address because I am based in the UK and not in the US. When I try to make a change and save it, it says I have made a mistake on the fields marked red and asks me to complete the parts in red including: the state I live in and because I am not in a state it doesn't allow me to change my details. It also has a problem with my country's telephone code. Does anyone know how to resolve this?

So I've been to the password change page and while I can enter my old password, it physically will not let me click the input boxes for the new password (enter and confirming). I don't know why this is, i tried it on different web browsers (safari and google chrome) and i still get the same error. I want to change my password pretty soon for security reasons. I can't change my email either, when i input my password to get it changed i get the message "
{"feedback":"\n \n\n <div class=\"messageContainer\">\n <div class=\"frameSuccess\">\n <span class=\"icon\"><\/span>\n <div>Your profile has been updated.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n\n \n","completion":70}
" and it hasn't changed the email. Please help
Side note, is there a way you can force sign out everything on skype requiring a relog?To change the iCloud ID on your phone you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, 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. Tap 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 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.

Apple ID: changing password by email?
When I created my apple ID, I made up a cool but bogus email address. I later forgot my password and went to the "reset password options" page. I chose "reset by email authentication" (or something along these lines) BUT the email is bogus, what did apple do? Did they send it? I checked on the web whether there were any websites with the url I used for my fake address and there is one! I couldn't believe it but it exists and it's Russian. Now, I'm afraid that if apple sent the reset password email to my bogus email address, it might have been a real email address and might have gone to Russia somewhere :O
Can this happen or am I just being paranoid? I read about this girl on facebook whose private messages were being sent to strangers because she didn't verify her email address and it kind got me paranoid lol http://www.forbes.com/sites/kashmirhill/2014/02/05/a-teen-girls-facebook-typo-le d-horrified-stranger-to-get-thousands-of-her-messages/

How to change password on email acct in eprint
I had to change a password for my gmail /google acct and I can no longer eprint as it won't save my new password under accounts in hpeprint
Hi Shadow8,
I understand you are looking to change your password for the ePrint account on the printer. Are you trying to change it in the ePrint app, the HPconnected or HPePrint web sites?
If you are using the ePrint app;
Touch the gear icon in the right upper corner.
Touch Email Accounts and then Edit.
Touch the account you would like to edit and then type the new password.
Touch Sign in to update / save the password.
Let me know if this helped or if you are trying to change the password in a different location.
Cheers,

My email account account(msn.com) was hacked so I changed my passwod at msn.com and then als0 changed it on myiPad under settings/mail.
Now I cannot send email or photos with email.
Suggestions? I only have an iPad as I am traveling.
I can send emails if I sign in through Safari.Check the outgoing mail server setting. Make sure that your username and password are in there.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional. -
Changed password on email now can't send email
i changed my password on my email account due to a security concern
i then updated my incoming and outgoing settings with the new password on both my iphone (non-3g in case it matters) and my lap top - the lap top is fine, i can receive mail on my iphone but i can't send.
i have:
updated the password (making sure i didn't make a typo) 4x
turned on the alternate AT&T SMTP server
turned the SSL off and on
turned the phone off and on
i haven't deleted and restarted the account - trying to avoid that, and frankly wary that it won't help anyway
everything was fine until the password change
any ideas?

Can't Log-in or change password..​.help
So, I have seen this a few times on these forums, but I can not figure it out. I have the can't login or change password or email do not match problem, basically I can not do anything. Any help would be appreciated.
Hello cadshot,
I was able to locate your account using the e-mail address you used to register for the forum and have submitted a password reset request on your behalf. You should receive an automatically-generated message with a password reset link in the next 10-15 minutes, so make sure to keep an eye on both your inbox and junk mail folders. The link will only be valid for a short period of time, so let me know via private message if you're unable to access that e-mail right away.
To send me a PM, simply sign into the forum and then click on either the link in my signature or the letter icon in the upper right-hand corner of the page.

Changing Apple ID - email already registered
Hi guys,
I've attempted to change my apple ID to my current email address as I do not use my old one any longer.
When i try to change it, apple tells me that i cannot use this email address as it is already in use.
I know this new email is not in use because i haven't registered it to iTunes and i have even requested a password reminder be sent to that email address and nothing comes through.
This new email address is also NOT my recovery email.
Anybody have any clues as to why I can't change to this email address?
Thanks in advance,It will depend upon what the email address is as to whether you can change it - logging into my account on http://appleid.apple.com I get an edit button/link next to my 'Apple ID and Primary Email Address'
From Change your Apple ID :
You can change the address of any Apple ID, except an Apple ID that ends with @icloud.com, @me.com, or @mac.com -
I have changed my apple id but when i try to log into icloud etc it lists my old id therefore my password is wrong as there is no such account now, how do i change this to show my new id and get into my account
To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, 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, and your old ID is an earlier version of your current 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 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 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. -
My icloud and Apple ID aren't the same email address. My phone wont let me change my icloud email. I don't know the password to my icloud account, and every time I try to email myself the password, it doesn't go through.
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Your Apple ID and iCloud email address don't need to be the same, you can't change an iCloud email address.
Also check your Mail rules and filtering, the verification mail may be going to a junk folder or even being deleted altogether. You may also wish to contact your mail provider to see if their spam filters are removing the email before it gets to you. -
My ipod has had a previous owner How do I change my ipods email address so that when I try to down load anything it asks for the previous owners password but when I go to my account it says its my email my account but not when I try to download can anyone please help me ????Plus it still has some of the previous owners pictures and videos on it that I want to delete and can't????? Also is there a way to kill the apps that u have used throughout the day the battery doesn't last long at all ??????
- How did you dlete stuff from the iPod? If you have a 1G or 2G iPod and deleted the stuff by going to Settings>Genera.>Reset>Erase aall contents and settings without being connected to a power source, the battery dies before he erase was comleted since it can take hour.
- In any event try the following:
- Connect to a chaging sour for three hours.
- Reset the iPod and then connect to the computer and try to restore va iTunes.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next try placing the iPod in recovery moe and then try to restore. For recovery mode:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- Last try DFU made and restore.
