HT4528 how do I delete an old apple id on an iphone?  i don't have the password to get in to make changes

I switched out my old phone for an Iphone 5 that my boss gave me and i'm trying to delete his apple id and program a new one for me.  how do i do that?

If we are talking about Activation Lock you will have to have him remove the device from his account at icloud.com
Hope this article helps you:

  • How can I delete an old apple id from an iPhone 4, 8.1.3 without password?

    I was given an iPhone 4 by my daughters friend, I use it for my sons to play games on only, its not connected to our phone service, but his apple id is still associated with the phone and after I updated the phone, it keeps asking me for his password, which I do not know nor can I get in touch with him to find out. It is using his apple id for an iCloud account, which I have never used.  I sync the phone with iTunes on my iMac with my apple id and my kids can purchase things using my ID, but his is still coming up and its frustrating my kids, lol, because every 2 seconds a prompt comes up to enter the Apple ID password for his email to sign into iCloud.  Not sure why its doing it more now, maybe because of the update?? Its version IOS 8.1.3. Please help me and help me delete and disassociate his account from this phone!  Thanks!

    And by the way, this was NOT a lost or stolen phone, it was given to my daughter who then gave it to her brothers to play games on.  It was legally obtained!

  • How Do I Delete My Old Apple ID From My iPhone When That ID No Longer Exists?

    I moved, and cancled my internet provider, losing that associated email (email #1). It was the same email I used for my Apple ID. At some point in the unknown past, the only other email adress I have (email #2) was also signed up for a speerate Apple ID
    I spoke to Apple on the phone, they walked me through changing my Apple ID from email #1 to email #2 and deleting any record of email #1. All worked fine.
    But now, my iPhone can't do anything iCloud related because it's looking for my original Apple ID with email #1. I can't download apps, I can't download podcasts and most frustrating, I can not DELETE the old Apple ID without a password, which I've tried but am told it doesn't like it - probabbly because that email doesn't exist in the first place.
    So, can I do anything before getting back on the phone with Apple?

    With iOS 7 there’s no workaround.
    They should have done this.

    Hi.
    I had a similar problem myself. This is what helped me.
    I went to the App store app, scrolled to the bottom, logged out of the account, re logged in with my Apple ID.  Then went back to app updates. Once I put in my ID password all was fine.

    How do you delete an old Apple ID Password on my IPAD #1 and replace it with a new apple ID?

    AnaMusic and King Penquin, this is the first such inquiry I have made for Apple help. I appreciate the help. You folks are very nice. I now have my I phone where it will not let me log in to use it as I upgraded to the latest version of the operating system tonight. That was a mistake on my part.

  • How do I delete an old Apple ID and still update apps purchased when I was using it?

    How do I delete an old Apple ID and still update apps purchased when I was using it?

    One, you cannot delete an Apple ID, all you can do is stop using it and let it fade away.
    Two, apps are permanently tied to an aPple ID and can never be transferred to another.  You must use that same ID to update an app, or delete the app and repurchase/download under another ID.

    To remove the apple id from the device, go to Settings>icloud>delete account. NOTE: this will only remove the account from the iPad. It will not delete the account.
    I hope this helps

  • How do I delete my old apple account,it's not accepting my birthdate either?

    How do I delete an old apple account?  For some reason it's not accepting my birthdate information!  Thank -you!

    OK that's what Ithought you were talking about.
    You can't actually delete an old Apple ID. You just sign into the new ID to use that one. Your old ID must be popping up because you used it in the past to purchase content with it. You cannot transfer purchases from one Apple ID to another Apple ID. You have to continue to use the old ID if you want to update content that was used to purchase with that ID.
    Did you sign into your new account in the settings and you can't stay signed in?
