How can i retrieve an apple ID password if the email associated with the ID is no longer in use

I deleted the email account associated with my apple ID - how can I reset my password if I no longer get email from the old email address? Plus, I can't get past the security questions to go that route.  So frustrating!

You need to contact Apple. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.

  • I'm trying to get access to a very old AppleID, but I don't have access to the email associated with the account anymore and it's saying my birthday is wrong.  Can someone help?!

    I'm trying to get access to a very old AppleID, but I don't have access to the email associated with the account anymore and it's saying my birthday is wrong.  Can someone help?!

    If you can't get the account's password reset via http://appleid.aple.com then try contacting Support in your country, they should (after they've confirmed your id and that it's your account) be able to reset it for you.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT5699
    If your country isn't on that page then try this form and explain and see what they reply with : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
    After it's been reset change the primary email address on the account to be an address that you have access to : Change your Apple ID.
    And check/correct the date of birth on the account (select the Password And Security section on the account on http://appleid.apple.com, answer the security questions, and on the next screen the DoB should show).

  • How can I retrieve an Apple ID password when the Apple ID (email address) no longer exists?

    How can I retrieve an ex employees Apple ID password when she can't even remember it? Plus Apple ID used to her company email address, which no longer exists for her. Apple support says it will send an email to her so I can change the password, but I'll never get it, since her email no longer works, she is not with us no more. Help please! I need to pass this iPhone to another, new employee.

    You cannot retrieve her password. Note the Apple ID, in Apple's eyes, belongs to _her_.  It is not the property of the company.  If she wishes to reset the password, she can go to the Apple ID site:  https://appleid.apple.com/ and try and change it.  If she doesn't know the password and has no access to the email address it may prove challenging if she provided no backup email address.
    But I'm not sure this is the root of the problem.  If the iPhone is locked using "activation lock" and it's running iOS 7 then yes, it will need to be unlocked.  If your company has proof of purchase of the iPhone, you may wish to try contacting AppleCare.  Otherwise, she can release it by going to her iCloud page and disabling it.

  • Deleting an ICloud account when ICloud still uses the old Apple ID as the email associated with the old Id is no longer active.

    I have had to change the email adddress and Apple ID. However the the ICloud account is still refering to the old Apple ID but the pasword has been forgotten.
    I have tried deleting the Icloud account but the sign in to icloud sign keeps on coming up when I try and delete the account. Can anybody help?

    Just authorize the computer and retreive them.
    Go here -> https://iforgot.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/DSiForgot.woa/wa/iforgot .
    FYI: you should have simply updated the AppleID with new info and continued to use it instead of creating a new one.

  • How can I retrieve data on a time machine if I have forgotten the password?

    How can I retrieve data on a time machine if I have forgotten the password?

    There are so many passwords.. which one do you mean?
    TC password or disk password in the TC.. no problem.. soft reset.
    Or recover the password.. via the Tesserax method.
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3372
    If you encrypted the backup in TM and have forgotten that password you are doomed.. there is no way to recover it I know of.. there is a warning.. very clear.. do not forget the password.

  • How can I change my Apple ID for iCloud on iPhone 5 with iOS7?

    How can I change my Apple ID for iCloud on iPhone 5 with iOS7? When I updated to iOS7 it kept my old ID on some features and my new one on others. I was able to change my Apple ID on all apps except iCloud. I don't have the original email account I used when setting up my iPhone with the old Apple ID and I have no clue what the password was. It appears I first need to turn off "Find my iPhone" which requires the old Apple ID, then I can delete the iCloud account. I want to use my current Apple ID to be able to use the "Find my iPhone" feature in iOS7. I hope someone can help!!

    That doesn't help. It's an old email that doesn't work anymore. Please read the entire post. iOS7 won't let you delete iCloud unless you have the password for the old/inactive email/Apple ID.
    You never mentioned that you didn't have access to that email.  There are some specific steps you can perform to retrieve the old Apple ID password.

    You made a purchase and exhausted the credit on your card before it processed. All purchases are final. Contact iTunes Store support. You need to settle up before you can purchase or download anything else.

    If you are going to change your AppleID login you will need to log out and back in on all your devices. Turn off 'Find My iPhone/iMac/iPod' first or you will find yourself unable to sign out and be stuck.

    how can i retrieve texts from an earlier back up without changing all the other settings on my iphone?

    You can't. Restoring from a backup is all or none.
    You can use a utility such as this one to extract the messages from the backup on your computer but you can't re-transfer the messages to the Messages app on your iPhone.
