How do I change apple ID w/o knowing password?

I have 2 iPads. One has my Apple ID that is recognized by Apple..I can download Apps, sign on, etc. The other has an older Apple ID and I forgot the password. Can't download Apps or change anything. Trying to change this apple ID to the one on my other iPad has been unproductive..Apple doesn't forward the changed PW info to either of my mailboxes even after successfully entering answers to security questions.
Also, I'd like to make my Apple ID and PW the same as the one recognized already by Apple rather than getting a new PW for both iPads.
I also have an iPhone that has the same Apple ID & PW as the one recognized by Apple, so the problem seems to be in the wrong Apple ID iPad that I can't change.

From what I've read, it WILL mean I will lose everything..the iPad will now be as was when I first got it from Apple. However, that may not be a bad thing, because I'm going to get another iPad and sell the old one.

  • HT204053 How do you change apple id for icloud if phone is already set up. Need to give each phone in my account their own apple id for icloud so that we dont receive each others messages but can still all use same id for purchases.

    How do you change apple id for icloud if phone is already set up. Need to give each phone in my account their own apple id for icloud so that we dont receive each others messages but can still all use same id for purchases.

    Settings-icloud-scroll to the bottom, select delete, if you want to keep the content select keep, otherwise it'll remove it. Then once it is done add the account information for the account you want on that phone.  Your apple ID in settings-store will remain the same and each device can still purchase/use content from that account.

  • HT5622 how can we change apple id username...??

    How can we change apple if username

    You can change the non-Apple email address which forms your Apple ID and hence your login to the various facilities such as iTunes, iCloud and these forums - is that what you mean?
    To do this go to http://appleid.apple.com and click on 'Manage your Apple ID'.
    If you mean the user name which appears in these forums - melvinthms - you can't change that other than by obtaining a new Apple ID and signing into a new account in the forums.

  • How do I change Apple ID for iCloud account?

    I changed Apple ID online because my email address changed. How can I change Apple ID for iCloud?

    If you renamed your iCloud ID and need to change it on your device, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID.  This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.
    To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll (if not already there) before deleting the account.  To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.

    If you log out, it will ask if you want to delete the data on your advice.
    All data will remain in iCloud.
    Login back in with new AppleID will restore it.
