How do I delete my iCloud can't remember password

HHow do I delete my icloud because I can't remember password and won't let me reset it for some reason

If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
You will need to show patience with the procedure and be prepared to demonstrate without question that the account belongs to you. Don’t expect access to be restored immediately and if you aren’t the owner of the Apple ID registered to the device the account won’t be reset.

  • 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.

  • How can i delete an icloud account with out password or access to old email

    how can i delete an icloud account with out password or access to old email

    If the old ID ("email address) is yours, and is an ealier version of your current iCloud 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.

    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.

    You will need the password. If you can't get it reset via http://iforgot.apple.com (if you remember the answers to the account's security questions then you should be able to reset it via them) then try contacting Support in your country, they should be able to reset it.

    How do I delete an icloud account on my iphone 6?

    Hey Liz, 
    You should be able to sign out of an iCloud account by going to Settings > iCloud and scroll to the bottom and you will see an option to sign out the account. If you have multiple accounts, then you can go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and choose the account and scroll down to the same sign out option.

  • How do I delete an icloud account so it is no longer accessible?

    How do I delete an icloud account from the phone so the user can no longer access the account from phone or anyother device.

    I don't think you can delete an iCloud account once it's created; you can just delete the account from all of your devices and stop using it.  You can also sign into the account on iCloud.com and delete any content (contacts, calendars, etc.) so it isn't available to any device that may sign into it.

  • How do i delete my iCloud account from my iPad with an updated Apple ID?

    How do i delete my iCloud account from my iPad with an updated Apple ID?
    It requires i log into FindMyiPad to delete the iCloud account however the Apple ID has changed therefore the username/password no longer exists.
    This is just sending me in circles to log into to a non-existant apple id with no password to delete my iCloud so i can log in with my updated apple ID.

    Settings/iTunes and App Store log out then log in with new ID.  you might want to change ID in iMessage, FaceTime and Siri and delete the cloud account and create one with new ID.  remember apps are forever linked to the ID used to download them and can only be updated with that ID

  • HT5621 How do i delete an icloud account and set up a new account with icloud if i dont no the old accounts password

    How do i delete an icloud account to set up a new icloud account if you dont know the old accounts password

    Welcome to the Apple community Amber
    If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID.
    This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
    However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.
    This article provides more information about Activation Lock.
