How do I remove an unknown apple id from my iPhone which runs ios 7?

I have an iPhone 4 which has been upgraded to ios 7 and someone logged in with an unknown apple id and now find my iPhone is also turned on. I do not have the password so how do I delete my id? Each time I try it'd ask me for the find my iPhone password which I dont have. I would just factory reset it but I asked a few people and they say that if I reset it, it wont reboot or turn on due to some ios 7 security feature which just sounds stupid but I'm not taking any chances. Pleasee help!
And do tell me what would happen if I just factory reset it in my current situation..

Unless you know the passcode to the Apple ID to which the phone is locked, there's not much you can do. If you are the original owner of the phone, you can try contacting Apple to see if they will assist you. They will need proof of original purchase.

    How do you remove camera icon on iPhone 5 running iOS 7

    I was on a long call. I locked the phone and slipped it in my pocket. Apparently the lock screen camera had activated though it had not taken any shots . The result was post my 40 odd minute call when I pulled the phone out to disconnect I discovered the camera was active and phone was hot and battery had reduced for 92% to around 50%. This seems a serious flaw in design...

  • How do i remove my old Apple Id from iPhone's iCloud setting which does not exist anymore

    Purchased new iphone 5s, installed with itunes restoring backup from iphone 4 (which was too old a backup). It restored an old apple id (which i do not use anymore) in the iCloud settings while having my new Apple Id in the Itunes & App Store. I cannot turn off the iCloud setting due to old AppleId popping up - which does not exist.. How do i remove the old Apple Id from icloud setting on the phone.
    I cannot erase the phone as it asks for the password for the old Apple Id. And i cannot do the restore again (after i made a recent back up my iphone 4) as itunes asks me to turn off Find my phone.

    The Apple ID exists. The email address you used to create it may not, but the Apple ID does. Call AppleCare and ask to speak to someone in account security.

    Hello Shy guy,
    You can try this:
    1. Go to the iTunes Store or App Store
    2. Scroll down, there you will see Apple ID: "your email" (below Redeem and Send Gift)
    3. Tap on that button
    4. Tap on Sign Out
    Now you should be able to use another Apple ID.

    - Note that apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
    - To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

    Sign out of iTunes and sign in with the new ID. On your computer, under on of the iTunes menus, on your iPad Settings > iTunes and App Stores and tap on the Apple ID.
    Note that all apps downloaded under the previous ID are locked to that ID, and you will have to sign back onto it for any updates.

  • How do I remove a secondary apple id from my Mac? I am being prompted for a apple id password for a former user; I do not have the information.  Prevents updates from App Store.

    How do I remove a secondary Apple ID that is not in use from my MacBook pro? The ID does not belong to me and when I attempt to download updates from App Store with my Apple ID, I am prompted for the password of the secondary Apple ID.

    Is this a second hand Mac? If so, you need to erase the Mac and install the version of OS X that shipped installed on the Mac from the factory. Then you set the Mac up as new with your Apple ID.
    User Linc Davis explains how a new owner can prepare a 2nd hand Mac for their own use.
