You cannot delete the account of the previous owner without the password. Please contact your seller in order to get a refund or if you have the contact data of the previous owner then try to contact him to get his password. Unfortunately, there will be no other solution to get your phone properly working again.

    how i could delete my old icloud account without password???
    please help

    You can't if you have iOS 7.  Reset your password as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2617 or contact the Apple account security team for your country for assistance: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699.

  • Hi ! I got an iPhone 5 from someone who I don't know the real owner. Then I wanna change iCloud on it, but I don't know the password of owner. How can I log out that iCloud account without password ? Please help me, thank you

    Thank you, please help me !

    You can't.
    Return the phone to whoever you bought it from and get a refund. Without the previous owners password you will not be able to enter your own iCloud acount, and when you update the phone, you won't be able to re-activate it as it will be locked to the previous owners account.
    You should've checked the phone was not locked to someone else's iCloud account BEFORE buying it.

  • How do I delete my i-cloud account without deleting Pages documents?

    Hi!
    I am currently in panic mode.  In a way, my problem is four or five-fold.  My I-pad is only charging now and then.  So it has suddenly become urgent for me to back-up all my stuff.  I don't sync with another computer.  I only have the i-pad. So I turned to i-cloud and began setting up my account.  Everything sets up just fine except Pages.  Pages merely remains in loading mode.  It won't go any further than a hundred and thirty-two megabytes.  . It just hangs there.  My wireless signal is a strong 3G.  So that is not the problem. The big problem right now is that I can't stop the process. Turning off the i-pad does nothing for it.  After I I restart it again it starts automatically loading.   I can't delete the i-cloud account now without losing the documents!  A pop-up comes up saying so.  Why would Apple do that?!  Someone should be able to back out of the process without losing all his or her documents.  I can turn everything else off just fine:  Calendar, Notes, Photo-streaming, etc.  Not Pages. 
    But there is an additional complication.  The i-cloud account appears to be attempting to download document files from my old Pages app!  I had forgotten my passcode a while back, so the apple store somehow reconfigured my i-pad.  I lost all that other data some of which included Pages.    I was very angry.  They told me they could just set me up with a new passcode but that it was contrary to policy because someone there might abuse my privacy!  It was very frustrating.  They could have just let me sit there and watch them do it if they had been so worried about their own possible dishonesty!  Anyway, at the bottom of the loading screen there reads 3.8 gigabytes which is significantly more than I have in my current Pages file and  would throw me above the 5.0 gigabyte threshold.  That is another reason why I wanted to stop the process so that I could do it next month and pay for the extra storage.  I don't know if the firewall between my 'old i-pad-within- an-i-pad'  is causing the problem or something else.  I think though it may be trying to merge with the old data somehow but is unable to do so. 
    So, the big question is how do I stop this process without losing all my documents?  I don't want to lose everything again.

    Hi, Demo!
    thanks for the reply.  I must say though that forgetting a password is nothing like following step-by-step instructions just as I am told and then having  two or three years of documents threatened.  i mean Apple Smapple.  They get things wrong all the time.  It is bad policy to lock out three years of data for a forgotten password  and, in fact, there is something wrong with the instruction system on creating an I-Cloud account when it comes to Pages.  So I blame Apple for both. 
    Here is what happened.  I was given clear instructions to back out of I-Cloud for everything else on my I-pad (Photos etc.) but Not for Pages.   When I wanted to halt the pricess, the pop-up said very clearly that my files would be deleted from my Pad.   So,  I just held my breath and pushed the back-out for Pages anyway even though it said it would  delete all my files.  Suddenly, another pop-up surfaced allowing me to back out just like with the others.  My data was safe!  And I was returned to the original I-Cloud account page.  I ran over to Pages and, voila, it was all there. nothing gone.  But moments later I got another pop-up saying that Pages had been deleted from my I-Pad but was successfully transferred to I-Cloud.   Pages was not deleted from my Pad, nor was anything else!   The scare was not my fault.  The pop-ups were apparently backwards.
    As a side-note.  There is nothing wrong with forgetting things.  That happens.  Our brains are made to do that sometimes.   Businesses are supposed to think ahead on that,  not dumbledy-pumbledy people like me.  Still partly  my bad.  This other thing was nothing like that.  I was merely setting up an I-Cloud account  In effect, 'I_Cloud'  was threatening to take my stuff for merely signing on and then deciding not to create an account.  Their bad completely.
    Come on.  Even computer illiterates need to keep an eye on Apple now.  Have you read how Carlyle, the big sinister private equity outlet, is now making Apple buy stuff it wants it to at two hundred percent mark-up?  Carlyle bought some sleek something at five hundred million.  Apple buys it six months later for two billion.  Clearly, someone else is in charge now at Apple.  My guess is that there will be less creativity  but more reflexive self-defensiveness.  That began way back with Steve Jobs when he wouldn't let the on-off toggle remain for stabilising the I-pad screen even when there was overwhelming customer desire to keep it.

  • How can I delete & change an iCloud account without the old password?!

    I set-up my iCloud with a hotmail account which is no longer active. How can I delete it?! I do NOT know the password any more and I've written several times to request it with no help from Microsoft. I NEED to restore my 4S but CAN'T without turning OFF the "Find My iPhone" service- blah! I am required to enter the password and have tried EVERY password I've ever used!

    If you can't remember the security questions or the pass code (if you have set up 2 step verification), then your options are your rescue address or in some circumstances a call to Apple, but unless they are able to provide Apple some evidence the account is theirs (which is far from the case so far) Apple won't do anything.
    (which is hardly a 'rescue' address if it can't be used)
    I'm not sure you realise where this is going. It should be able to be used, even if the OP has forgotten the password to that account as well as their password to the Apple ID and all the security questions which are questions about them, there is no reason they shouldn't be able to reset their hotmail address receive the reset mail from Apple and unlock their account.

  • Can I delete a excisting iCloud account without password

    I bought this iphone from a friend and their signed into their iCloud, is there any way I can deleted their iCloud account cause they don't know their password

    Hi Raaach,
    Sorry, but there is no way to get around the Activation Lock without signing off the iCloud account that is signed onto the device. Have the person who sold you the device go to Manage your Apple ID and answer their security questions so they can reset their password:
    https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
    If they can't remember their Security Question answers, they can contact iTunes Support to have them reset:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699?viewlocale=en_US
    Once they know their Apple ID/iCloud password, they can either delete the iCloud account from the device directly, or they can follow this link to remove the device from their iCloud account remotely:

    Best of luck,

  • I want to update iCloud account with new apple id but don't know password for old apple id.  Plus can no longer receive email at old apple id.  How can I delete the current iCloud account on my iPhone if the previously stated conditions exist?

    I want to update iCloud account with new apple id but don't know password for old apple id.  Plus can no longer receive email at old apple id.  How can I delete the current iCloud account on my iPhone if the previously stated conditions exist?

    If the old ID is yours, and if it 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, 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.

  • How can I delete previously itunes synched photos from my ipad 3 now that I use the cloud instead of synching via mac/itunes?

    how can I delete previously itunes synched photos from my ipad 3 now that I use the cloud instead of synching via mac/itunes?

    You will need to connect your iPad to your computer, and on the Photos tab de-select those folders that you no longer want on the iPad - they can't be deleted directly on the iPad. If you no longer want any synced photos on your iPad then you can select and sync just an empty folder.

  • How can I delete my iCloud email accounts?

    How can I delete my iCloud email accounts? I no longer own any apple devices and find that the email is at best unreliable. Also, I am having to deal with a good portion of daily tasteless spam content at the original @me.com address. As I no longer have any apple devices I wouldn't mind having the whole iCloud account deleted. I have already erased all of my information from the icloud.com site.

    Then that is all you can do.
    You currently can not delete an iCloud account.
