I do not have the password to enter Imac

Can anyone tell me how to get into an Imac. I do not have the password or the disk to reset.

Any chance you can get installer discs from them? You cannot reset an admin password without an installer disc or without knowing what version of OS X is installed.
Does this password request occur when you try to start the computer or does it start and ask for a login password? The former would be a Firmware Password that cannot be over-ridden.
You can go to an Apple retailer and purchase a copy of Snow Leopard for $29.00. You can then reset a login password: Mac OS X 10.6 Help- If you forget your administrator password.

You can't delete an existing account, you can only choose to stop using it. It will still be there should you decide to use it again in the future.

How can I get the reset information sent to my current email addres so I can establish a new passwod for this Applie ID?

FR Tecmobility is wrong, sure he means well but what he suggests will not work - signing out of iTunes Store and back in will have no effect on iCloud. Try the steps at iOS 7: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
You may need to contact apple tech support if none of the password change methods work for you. Ask for Account Security. They will need to verify identity, to ensure you are who you claim to be. If that goes well, they can send a password rest e-mail to any e-mail you desigate, so make sure it is one you can access. Then reset the password. Then you can delete the iCloud account (needs the password to turn off find My Phone/Activation lock)
keep data on phone, then sign in with your desired apple ID. Good luck. hope you get this sorted out.

Since you can't delete Apple IDs and having multiple Apple IDs can cause confusion, what you may want to do is rename your existing Apple ID to the new email (desired Apple ID). That would in effect do what you want, get rid of the old and give you the new.

I recently changed my Apple ID to a new email address. My old one still is in my phone, and cannot be permanently deleted as it says that Find my iPhone is still on. I can't turn it off because I do not have the password to my old "deleted" Apple ID.

If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) on your account then the steps on this page will give you a reset link on your account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6170
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions) then you will need to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps on this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5620
Or, if it's available in your country, you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

My apple id for icloud is linked to an invalid email address and i do not have the password for the account. I need to delete the account to access my icloud on my iphone. any ideas?

my apple id for icloud is linked to an invalid email address and i do not have the password for the account. I need to delete the account to access my icloud on my iphone. any ideas on how to override this issue?

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.

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.

I can't access my G4, I do not have the password or format disk

I have received this Mac from a friend who re-formatted it before giving it to me. I was initially able to use it until recently. 1st, the last row of the keyboard no longer functioned, so I turned it off. 2nd, when I turned it back on, it displayed a start up screen that asked for a username (which already had "Macintosh Macintosh") and a password. I did not know the password & neither did my friend. I think he may not have the original start up disk (but I will ask). Is there any way to bypass this? Is there a general password or will I need to acquire the start up disk (or purchase a new one in the event my friend may not have it)?
Thanks in advance

No, to reset the password you need the original disks or a retail copy of what ever OS you are going to install or running.
See Apple doc.#106156.

How can i delete an old icloud account for which I do not have the password

I changed my iCloud and iTunes account on my MAC AIR to a new ID (successfully). The iTunes account on my iPad Air was also updated, but I can't change or get rid of the old iCloud account on my iPad and I don't know what the old password is for the old account. How can this account be deleted off my iPad, please help!

If your device is signed into an old iCloud ID that is an earlier version of the ID you want to sign in with, do the following:
If you are using iMessage and FaceTime, make sure you are signed into these services with your current ID. If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
Then 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. (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.) Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID). Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless you are using iCloud Photo Library). When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (or Delete Account if you are not running iOS 8) 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 back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).

Hi cozmac3,
It sounds like you may need to contact our Apple ID Security team to answer your security questions and reset your password. Then you'll be able to edit your Apple ID. Here are a few links for you:

Change your Apple ID
Learn how to change the email address that you use as your Apple ID.
In most cases, your Apple ID is also the primary email address of your Apple ID account. You can change your Apple ID to any other email address you control, as long as it's not already in use as an Apple ID. If your email address ends with @icloud.com, @me.com, or @mac.com, it's already an Apple ID.
Use these steps to reset your Apple ID:
Sign out of iCloud, the iTunes Store, App Store, FaceTime, Find My Friends, Find My iPhone, and iMessage on each device that uses your current Apple ID for these services.
Go to My Apple ID.
Select Manage your Apple ID and sign in. Forgot your password?
Select Edit next to Apple ID and Primary Email Address.
Enter the email address that you want to use as your Apple ID, then select Save Changes. Apple will send a verification email to that address.
Open the email from Apple, then click Verify Now. Didn't receive the email?
When the My Apple ID page opens, sign in with your new Apple ID email address and password. When you see a message that verification is complete, you can start using your updated Apple ID.
Update the features and services that you use with Apple ID, so that each one is using your updated Apple ID.
If you need to change the Apple ID that's signed in to your iOS device, use these steps to sign out, then back in with a different Apple ID.
Cheers,

How do i change apple id without password . I have tried to change it but the email gets sent to a generic address. Can anyone please help ?
Thank you !

Apps and their updates are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them originally, regardless of whether or not you are still using this ID for iTunes. If these apps were purchased with your former husband's ID you won't be able to update them without providing the password for this ID. You will have to delete them from your phone and your iTunes library and re-purchase them using your current ID in order to stop this.

I need a way to extract email address from an offline folder of 13,500 emails. It is still online also but I do not have the password anymore.

Hyperbole is not very useful on a tech support forum. No one flipped out.
Whether or not what happened is ridiculous or should or should not have happened is a question for another time and place. You should definitely submit feedback to Apple about it:
http://www.apple.com/feedback
Regardless of why it happened or whether it should have happened, the only way to remove the activation lock is to contact Apple. You should be able to do it over the phone. You may be required to send them the original proof of purchase. Use the Contact Us link at the bottom right of every page.
Once you get the phone working again, do NOT restore it from you existing back up or you will, most likely, be right back where you started.
Best of luck.
