Forgot password for iCloud account in Apple Mail

Hi all,
I don't know why but a recently I've been asked to enter my icloud password related to my iCloud e-Mail address.
stupidly, I've forgot what my password is. is there a chance to reset it somehow?
To explain the situation a bit better and what I've tried already, here a short discription of the situation:
- I do have a appleID that is called [email protected] the related password is appleID_Password1.
with this combination I also conduct my purchases in iTunes and the AppStore. But to rule this possibility already out: It doesn't let me access my iCloud eMail account in Apple Mail. Funny enough, though, when visiting iCloud.com this is the combination with which I log onto iCloud incl it's mail service within the web browser.
- the iCloud eMail address for whose password I am looking is called something like [email protected] I have implemented it into my Apple Mail program running on Mac OS X Lion. Since setting up the account i've never ever been asked to enter my password. But now, out of a sudden, I was. And, of course, I couldn't remember it anymore. Hence, I don't receive any eMails sent to [email protected] anymore on my mac.
Can somebody tell me how to fix it, if it is not the password for my appleID??
Thanks already for all the help..!!

Is [email protected] the actual login for iCloud? (The login is not always the same as the email address, it depends on cicumstances.) It's the login, which is an Apple ID, which you need to enter at iforgot.apple.com.
Exactly this is what I am talking about: [email protected] is NOT the login for iCloud.
I used to have an Apple ID way before I've used iCloud. Back then, I provided my gmail-address as to set up my Apple ID.
Now, quite a while later, after I've bought an iPhone, I got access to Apple's iCloud. For the free @me.com eMail address that comes with iCloud I've chosen [email protected] Of course, as it is with every email address you gotta choose a password. I have chosen a different one that I have chosen for my Apple ID. Therefore, knowing the password for my Apple ID account doesn't help me with receiving my [email protected] mails when Apple Mail is asking for my [email protected] password.

Passwords for iCloud account not working on my phone or iPad

I want to use a different Apple ID on all my products. I can't however seem to change the email (Apple ID) associated with icloud on my phone or ipad. I have an old address that I want to update. However now none of the passwords that were associated with that old Apple ID are working now and I cant seem to change the ID at all? I want to use icloud, but don't want it associated with this old email. How can I change the ID associated with iCloud on my devices?

If you have an old iCloud ID showing in Settings>iCloud as a result of updating to iOS 7, in order to change the 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 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, tap Edit, 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.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Put in a request for another verification e-mail to be sent to you.
Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
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.

I'm trying to set up iCloud on Outlook 2007 and have used the control panel and manual set-up. However, every time I try to send an email it asks me to 'enter network password' and then doesn't send. any help?

Why do I keep getting a message that states "the user name or password for icloud is incorrect.

Apple are currently trying to get less secure passwords updated. They require that your account passwords are at least eight characters long and contain both alpha and numeric characters and at least one upper case alpha character.
You might try changing your account password to match these requirements.

HT5624 i do have apple ID and password but i forgot password for the icloud account . what i have to do ?

I have iphone 5 which was bought from apple store regent street ,london in february.i took it abroad to use.unforthunatly it didnt work. it kept asking to sign in for the icloud account but i forgot the icloud password .i tried the apple ID it dindnt work.what shall i do ?.

Your iCloud account and Apple ID should be the same thing. If you go to iforgot.apple.com and enter in the account it's asking you for, you can reset the password for it there by using either security questions or by sending yourself an email. If that doesn't work, try giving apple support a call to get your password reset at

How do I stop the message "user name or password for iCloud is incorrect" from popping up 2 times in a row when i try to get mail from other accounts? thank you in advance

How do I stop the message "Cannot get mail. The user name or password for iCloud is incorrect" from popping up 2-4 times consecutively every time I choose MAIL on my iPhone 4, 7.1.1 I have to select "OK" 2-4 times each time before I can read other email accounts. I used to have an "@me.com" account which I think was automatically changed to an "@icloud.com account." I opened a new iCloud.com account yesterday because I could not figure out how to get in the old ones. I want to delete the original @me & original iCloud account. When I try to delete the account, they tell me my DOB is wrong. I just want those pop ups to stop. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Suzanne,
It sounds like you’re running into a password issue with an older Apple ID that’s setup on your iPhone, which is preventing you from removing an iCloud account from your device. Take a look at the article linked below, it outlines all of the possible ways to change an Apple ID password.
If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
After you enter your Apple ID, there are three ways you can change your password:
Answer your security questions. Use these steps if you know the answers to your security questions.
Use email authentication. We'll send you an email that you can use to change your password.
Use two-step verification. If you set up two-step verification, you can use it to change your password. You just need your recovery key and a trusted device.
So long,
-Jason

I forgot my password on icloud account. how can i change my icloud account if my e-mail account has been compromised?

i forgot my icloud and e-mail account password. is there any possible way to change my icloud account?

Hey there apolman,
It sounds like you want to change your iCloud email address but cannot remember the password to do so. You should be able to reset the password for your account with this article:
iCloud: Change your iCloud password
Change your iCloud (Apple ID) password
Go to the My Apple ID website (appleid.apple.com) and follow the instructions to reset your Apple ID password.
For more information, see the Apple Support article Apple ID: Changing your password.
After changing your iCloud password, make sure you update it on all your devices and in any email apps you use to get your iCloud email.
On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Go to Settings > iCloud, then tap your iCloud account.
On a Mac: Open iCloud preferences.
On a Windows computer: Open iCloud for Windows.
In your email apps: Check the help provided for the email apps you’re using.
If you set up iCloud on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, make sure to set up a passcode lock on your device for added security. (Go to Settings > Passcode or Touch ID & Passcode. If your device has iOS 5 or iOS 6, go to Settings > General > Passcode Lock.)
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

I've forgot my password for icloud but the account doesn't exist anymore

I've just bought an iphone 6 and i made a new apple id because i forgot the password to my old account but the email doesn't exist anymore for the icloud account so i cant even reset the password, ive used the back up from my iphone 5 on my iphone 6 which had find my iphone turned on so i can't restore my iphone 6 untill i turn it off which i cant because i have forgot the password and the account no longer exist what can i do ?

Ok. In that case you'll have to contact the Apple account security team for your country and request assistance changing the password for the old ID: Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security. You'll have to prove your identity to them before they will change it. If your country isn't listed, contact iTunes store support for help with this by filling out this form: https://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.

Cannot get mail using iCloud. Says no password provided for iCloud, to go to Mail Account Settings and enter a password, even though I've already done this. Very odd.

I doubt you are doing anything wrong. First day glitches
Reset the device.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Make sure you have Mail selected here > http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/

My apple id for icloud is linked to an invalid email address and i do not have the password for the account. I need to delete the account to access my icloud on my iphone. any ideas?

my apple id for icloud is linked to an invalid email address and i do not have the password for the account. I need to delete the account to access my icloud on my iphone. any ideas on how to override this issue?

If you updated the old ID at one point to create your current iCloud ID, 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. 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, 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.

Checking mail, get "password missing. Enter the password for the account "iCloud"."

Checking email, get Password Missing. Enter the password for the account "iCloud." Have tried changing password, re-entering new password at iCloud setting, still no success. Then I get message The MobileMe server "mail.me.com" is not responding. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the "Incoming Mail Server" field. What can be done to correct password issue?

Make sure you have a network connection. Are you connected to the internet or cellular network
