How to change a iCloud email address that I don't have the password to?

I have a non email address as a iCloud account and I don't know the password to. I can't verify the email because it's not a real email address. I have a separate Apple ID that I use for apps but the iCloud account is different. How can I solve this problem?

You need to contact the previous owner and have them remove it.

HT201269 How do I get my old iPhone/iTunes info from an old email address that I no longer have the password to change it to my new email address?

I no longer have my Comcast account how do I get all my old iTunes Facebook etc from my old email to my new phone and centurylink email account
[email protected] when I no longer have the password to the Comcast account

I really can't comprehend the logic that leads to believe that password for old apple id will come to e-mail for new id. Buy may be I just misunderstood something. Contact Apple for assist with password retrieval. If you can verify yourself as account owner they may be able to help you.

If you updated the old ID at one point to create your current iCloud ID, temporarily recreate the old ID by going 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.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Did you create a totally new ID or just change your old one.

HT201365 my activation lock is on and it was turned on with an old email address. I don't remember the password I used for that email. What do I do?

Activation lock was turned on with old email address. I no longer have access to that email and I don't remember password. What can I do?

Reset the password: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2617. If you have trouble, contact the Apple account security team for assistance: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699. There's no way around activation lock. You won't be able to activate it without the password.

How do I change my iCloud email address that syncs with my iPhone?

I had to change my e-mail address today. I changed it in iTunes and checked it on apple.com (Manage ID). Everything is fine, except now the e-mail address I have associated with iCloud on my iPhone is out-dated. It's the old one.
How do I update the e-mail address for iCloud on my iPhone? I can change the password, but not the e-mail address. Do I really have to delete the account from my iPhone and add a new one?
Note, I don't want to change the actual e-mail address that I got when I set up my iCloud account i.e. [name]@me.com. I want to change the e-mail address that syncs with iCloud and my iPhone.
Many thanks

Go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with your updated ID. This only deletes the account and any data you are syncing with iCloud from your device, not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account, your data will be synced back to your device when you sign back in.
Save any photo stream photos to your camera roll before deleting the account (tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll).

How to change my icloud email address

I went to backup my iphone using icloud and its asking for a password to an email that was originally used to my school. I no longer go to school nor do i use that email. I cannot change the icloud email to my apple id. When i do try to delete the account it asks me for a password. I tried every password i have and I can't delete the stupid account. How do i change the email to my apple id?

An iCloud account is also an Apple ID. It sounds like you have two different Apple ID accounts -- your iCloud account, and the Apple ID you created with your school email address. Unfortunately you cannot merge Apple ID's, but you can manage them at appleid.apple.com.

How can I access my iCloud email account when I don't remember the password and Apple won't accept the answer to my security question?

I set up an email account with " @me.com". I get a wrong password message when I try to log in. When I try to change my password I get an INcorrect answer message to the security question I'm asked my birth date so I know I have it right, unless I did a typo when I set up the account. When I choose email me the reset password lnk I cannot retrieve the email because it won't accept the password. I wanted to justemail Apple for instructions but cannot find an email address for that. Any help would be appreciated.

I tried that without any luck. I was hoping I could get Apple to reset it for me or delete the account so I could recreate it or at least tell me what is listed as my birth date, the security question answer.

How can I get into my account that I do not have the password for

A new Photoshop serial number was created for me earlier. It was put in an old account that was still on Adobe's books and I do not have a password for it. My current account has all of my software licenses but does not have the new one that replaced what is listed in my main account.

How do I delete a wifi network when I don't have the password?

Yesterday, I had some work done on my home network, which affected all my wireless devices. I was able to get everything up and running, but the Ipad. I have a different type of encryption now and can't connect to my Ipad. My nephew, who did the work, wants me to delete the current wifi and then start over so it will see the current wifi network. The network that is showing is my new network name, but I type in the password and I get an unable to join/dismiss message. I have tried to reset network settings, but I still see the same network. My nephew won't be back until later in the week, I miss the wifi.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Nan

I'm not sure if this will work for you, but it's worth a shot.
TRY THIS:
Go to Settings > Wi-Fi > select 'Other...' > Enter Network Name and Security Password > select 'Join'
MY SETTINGS:
The router is set to WPA2 Encryption. The iPhone 'Wi-Fi Networks' settings is set to 'Ask to Join Networks'
ISSUE BACKGROUND:
I had a problem where my iDevice (iPhone 4) would not automatically connect to my Wi-Fi router even though the name - linksys - was always present. I didn't want to 'Reset Network Settings' yet as there were some hotspots I didn't want to have to go through the hassle of entering 16 to 32 character passwords again. I was planning to try the 'Forget this Network' option, but it wasn't present. I tried the step above as a long shot and it worked. Hope this helps.

How do you delete an itunes account when you don't have the password.

My partner's itunes account was hacked. She cannot get into it. Neither her id nor her password work. Apple has said they will put a "hold" on the account, but this renders itunes useless and it seems you can't start a new (second) itunes account on the same iPad/iPhone/iPod. How can you delete the itunes account altogether so that she can start a new one?

I assume you're using an iOS and not an OSX device here. If not, then let me know.
Go to Settings>Scroll down to iTunes and App Stores>Click Apple ID>Click Sign Out
Then, create a new account on the web and sign in
I hope this works
