HT202667 I don't know the password to my iCloud email account. My Apple and iTunes ID is not my iCloud email address. How do I find my iCloud password? I would like to add this email address to a mail app.

I Downloaded an app that keeps all address' in one place. I went to add my iCloud email and when asked for my password, nothing I tried worked. It is obviously not the same password that I use to login to my Apple or iTunes account. How do I find out my password?

Hi Kim,
The password for your iCloud account and your Apple ID are one in the same, as the iCloud email account is an alias for your Apple ID as well.
After you set up your @icloud.com email address, you can use it to sign in to iCloud. You can also sign in using the Apple ID you used to create your iCloud account.
iCloud: Set up an @icloud.com email address
Cheers,
Alex H.

I don't know the password for my OLLLLDDDD iTunes AOL accounts, and thus can't play half of my music. How can I fix this?

I recently had to get a new hard drive on my laptop and thus lost all of my music. I've had my iPod for somewhere around six years, and have amassed a lot of music during that time and gone through a couple computers (mostly because I was working up to a computer of my own...). So, if you can guess where I'm going with this, I have had at least three different iTunes accounts and I still have all of the music on an external drive. My problem is that now that I'm putting my music back on to the new hard drive, I can't play some of the songs because I don't know the password for the OLD AOL accounts. I've tried every variation of password I can think of that I would have used, but still come up with nothing. I tried calling the AOL support number and the guy said he had no idea what I was talking about and hung up on me. To make things even more confusing, iTunes seems to have created an identical account to the one I use now but as an AOL account and I have absolutely no idea what the password is. This means that half of my music/TV shows/movies are not able to be watched/listened to. Does anybody have any idea what I can do to recover my password? Or am I totally screwed?? Please help!

Ok..
Launch iTunes. From the menu bar top of your screen click Store / Authorize This Computer.
iTunes seems to have created an identical account
No... Apple does not "create" an account for you.

You've purchased iTunes media all this time and never backed it up?

When I try to connect to wi-fi, it asks for the password, but I got this question. If you don't know the password, check with the Wi-Fi network administrator, but I don't know how.

Hi All,
When I try to connect to wi-fi, it asks for a password. Then I got this question. If you don't know the password, check with the Wi-Fi network administrator, but how do I find the network administrator.

Whomever provides the wi-fi.
To what wi-fi network are trying to connect?

I don't know the password to the old Apple ID on this phone. Is there any way to delete the iCloud ID without the old password?

Help!!!

No, not unless you have a more current iCloud ID that was created by revising this old ID. If you do, you can 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 iPhone, then delete the account. When you're done, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.
If that isn't the case, and you don't know the password for the old ID, you'll have to reset it yourself (see http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2617) or contact the Apple account security team for assistance resetting it: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699.

HT5621 Wrong Apple ID (don't know the password)

I recentley recovered a backup from itunes to my iphone 5s. However It was a back up from some one elses phone with a different apple id that I have no idea what the password is.

In the Manual for the Droid 2 global, it is page 57. See I got my as a certified preowned and I am not sure if that was alread set, or if I set it and forgot it. But I am just looking to get around it so I can enable the Global GPS and have access to my other features. When I got the phone, It had lots of stuff on it that made it look like some demo model, so I restored it to factory and activated it.

I don't know the password for the SMTP account so as to mail photos. How can I retrieve or change the password?

I am unable to share photos from the Iphoto program because I don't know the password for the SMTP account. How can I either retrieve or change that password? Or is it one I already should know?

Have you set the general preferences in iPhoto to email using iPhoto? Then change it to email using "Mail". This way iPhoto will use your regular Mail account.

I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account. I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there. On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back. Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email. The device is currently useless.
The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

How can I delete my Icloud account when I don't know the password and no longer have the email address associated with it?

You need your password to delete it and I need the email address to reset the password. I feel like I'm going in circles!!! Please help!!!

Go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, 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 shouldn't need to verify the old account). You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then 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.

Do you know to how update my iCloud ID to match my Apple ID if I don't know the password and I don't have access to the old e-mail address?

Hi Guys,
Do you know to how update my iCloud ID to match my Apple ID if I don't know the password for the old ID and I don't have access to the old e-mail address?

Hi Guys,
I've sorted it
All I needed to do was add my old e-mail address - not as the primary but as an alias. This allowed me to delete the account on my iPhone 4S and re-sign in with the correct e-mail address.
Happy now

How do I install lion on a MacBook pro if I don't know the password?

I know what you're thinking, "if you don't know the password, it's probably not yours." I'm actually a go-to guy for pawn shops when they get electronics. The guy pawned his laptop and didn't pay to retrieve it. It is now property of the pawn shop but they initially forgot to ask the guy for the password and now he won't reveal it to us.
I want to wipe the computer and install the latest os on it. Can you please tell me the simplest way? It automatically logs in when starting up and I'm able to download lion but I think it's going to ask me for a password. I could be wrong though.

Did you get the Mac OS X install disks from the pawnshop, perchance? If not, you'll need to call Apple tech support and order a set, or if the MBP is an older one that didn't come with Snow Leopard, a retail copy of the Snow Leopard installer. Then you can boot from that installer disk, erase the drive (highly recommended), install SL and upgrade to Leopard. Or you can buy the Lion installer on a USB flash drive, boot from that, and again erase the drive and install.
Regards.

My icloud and Apple ID aren't the same email address. My phone wont let me change my icloud email. I don't know the password to my icloud account, and every time I try to email myself the password, it doesn't go through.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Your Apple ID and iCloud email address don't need to be the same, you can't change an iCloud email address.
Also check your Mail rules and filtering, the verification mail may be going to a junk folder or even being deleted altogether. You may also wish to contact your mail provider to see if their spam filters are removing the email before it gets to you.
