Deleting an old i-cloud account without a password

I am trying to delete an i-cloud account from an i-phone4
The account registered is with an old email account of mine that was made redundant by the internet service provider.  I have no idea what the password was.
The only workaround on the Apple pages was to sign in under my new Apple iD - change the e-mail address and then use the password on my new iD.  This sdoes not seem to work as when I change the e-mail it cannot be verified so I still cannot delete the account associated with my old e-mail.
So how do I delete the account without a total rest.  My wife is now sharing the phone and has her on info on it.

You can get help with the password via Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security

  • How to delete an old  closed email account without having the password

    I recently closed my email account that I used to create my itunes account and I forgot the password to change or delete this account. I created a new account in Itunes, but now I can`t change my old email and user name. What can I do to eliminate this old account in my Ipad and creat the new on? Thanks

    I assume that you updated the existing account id rather that creating a new one, if so then you can log out of the currently logged in account by tapping on it in Settings > Store and you can then log back in with the updated id. If you created a new account then any content that is on the iPad will remain linked to that old account

    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 delete an icloud account without a password

    I bought a i phone 4s  and i am trying to set it up.  Forgive me if these are obvious questions - i am new to all this.  I have a apple ID/password which i have created, however my current itunes account/icloud account are set up/picking up my old email address which i no longer have access to and dont know the password.  i have tried to delete the icloud account but it says i need a password.  I have tried the forgot password option on apple to which it doesnt recognise my birthday as being the same as their records for some reason, and i cant access the reset email as i dont have this address anymore.

    you can´t delete an icloud account without using the password.
    if you can confirm that your iphone is not locked to icloud device activation with this AppleID your are not aware and you have no access for - you can attempt to "erase all settings and content" on your iphone, to remove the icloud account from your iphone. all your data will be erased and iphone is set to factory settings

    I cant delete my icloud account without a password. What can I do? As apple will not allow me to change my current apple id to my old icloud account

    Thanks.
    But I cannot even log out of my icloud account due to it asking for a password, which I cannot remember and my iphone 4 needs backing up. I chose the icloud backup option and as I cannot log into icloud I cannot back up my iphone

  • How can i delete my old apple id account?

    please someone can tell me,how delete my old apple id account?

    You cannot delete an Apple ID; just remove any/all personal information and it'll fade into obscurity. Remember that anything you purchased at the app store will need that Apple ID and password to be updated.

  • How can I delete my old app store account from update on my IMac

    How can I delete my old app store account from update on my IMac

    All items that you download from the iTunes store are tied to the account that downloaded them, so only that account can download updates to its apps.
    If you are referring to apps from the Mac App Store then you will be better off asking in the Using Mac App Store forum (this is the iTunes Store forum).

    The iPhone does not store ANY information on the SIM card. If they were truly on the SIM, re-import them from the SIM.

  • Deleting an old e-mail account

    I want to delete an old e-mail account from my iMac. Unfortunately, the only option I can find is to check or uncheck the "enable this account" box. Any way to completely delete an e-mail account from the mailboxes? Thanks!

    Open Mail preferences and click on the Accounts icon in the toolbar. Select the account you want to delete in the list and click on the [-] button at the bottom of the list. Note that all the mail you have in that account will also be deleted. If you want to preserve any of it then create a new folder in your active mail account and then move all the mail from the old account into the new folder. Then delete the old account.
