If it's running Mac OS X 10.6.8 or earlier, insert a Mac OS X install DVD, restart with the Option key held down, click on it, and use the Reset Password utility.
If it's running Mac OS X 10.7 or newer, restart with the Command and R keys held down, open the Terminal, and use the resetpassword command:

Then update it to new email address. Creating a new AppleID is usually not a good thing as anything on your old account will not be transferred to your new account.
See this -> Change your Apple ID - Apple Support

So reset them...

Restoring it will not delete it.
You need to turn it off (Settings > iCloud - Delete account then re-enable it with updated AppleID.
This is the ONLY way you can do it. -

How can i recover the password, Please help me
If you have a passcode to the screen lock that you've forgotten, restore the iPhone from the computer to which the iPhone is synced. For information and instructions, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
If that will not work, try DFU mode:

The Apple wireless keyboard will not work. Batteries are new, light is on & goes into search mode. Worked fine yesterday, today - wont type. Can not do any of the troubleshooting I read about online because I can not type my login. Is there a lock key I may have hit by accident and can unlock? The bluetooth is working because my wireless mouse works...Please Help
I was just researching the same problem and found this info :
"I figured it out, i had "mouse keys" on.
To fix go to Preferences>Universal>Mouse> MouseKeys and click off"
sure enough I had the 'mousekeys' on and turning it off - keyboard now working
hope this works for you -
I was working on an important project and I had several tabs open. When I finished, I automatically cleared everything, as I always do, and I didn't save the bookmarks. The project is due, and the days of research I've done to find these websites is now a luxury I can only dream of.
Is there any way this can be restored? I've checked the Time Machine, and there is no folder for Firefox in Application Support.
PLEASE HELP.Did you make sure to look in the correct location in the Time Machine backup?
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
*/Users/<user>/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/<profile>/
In Mac OS X v10.7 and later, the ~/Library folder is a hidden folder.

I recently had to do a factory restore on my iphone 4s. Upon trying to set up my phone again I am being asked to sign into my icloud account. I can't remember the password or the email I used to set it up. I know my Apple ID, password and email for that account, but that doesn't allow me to get back into my phone. I can't reset the icloud password because I can't remember the email I used. Any ideas on what I can do please ?
Hi, Fugalltadowivu.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
This sounds like Activation Lock has been enabled on this device. Here is some helpful information regarding this feature.

HT204053 How do I delete an apple Id account that I can't remember the password to get into
I cannot get into my apple id account/ iCloud because I can't remember my password or the security questions so I created a new account but can't get the old one deleted and I am trying to down load apps on my phone but can't because I need to delete my old apple I'd account.
To change the ID for:
iMessage, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive (Receive At in iOS 5), tap the ID sign out, sign back in using the other ID.
FaceTime, do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.
Purchasing, do this in Settings>iTunes & App Stores (Settings>Store in iOS 5).
iCloud, you'll have to delete the account, create a new account with the other ID, and migrate your data to the new account. Before deleting the account, if you have any photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll or backed up somewhere else save these to your camera roll or you will lose them. To do this, open the photo stream album, tap Edit, tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll. Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPhone. Next, set up a new iCloud account using your new ID, then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account. -
I have apps from old work account that I can't remember the password to. On my personal phone those apps keep showing up but I can't update them because I can't remember the password. How can I delete them and download on my new account?
Tap and hold an app until they all start jiggling and an X appears in the icon's top left corner. One by one tap the X to delete the app. when they are all gone you are free to buy them again with your own account.

My iPhone is set up with my old iCloud details - how do I change it to my new Apple ID - my email has changed. I can't remember old password and it's not recognising my date of birth. I no longer have the trusted device or key thing??
Try 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.
