ICloud account password reset problems

Hello!
I registered an iCloud account for my iPad mini. My username is [email protected]
The problem is I forgot the password. I asked for a password reset at iforgot.apple.com.
I checked all of my e-mail accounts when I figured out the email adress for my iCloud account is the [email protected] As I told I don't know my password so I can't sign in to my iCloud email to reset the password.
Please help me, because I restored my iPad and I can't activate it without sing in to iCloud.
Thanks,
oliverus

Did you set security questions? If yes, this might help you get in.
Another place to look is in Keychain Access and in your Browser settings.
Open Keychain Access in Applications/Utilities.
Select Login keychain in the top right.
You can enter iCloud in the top search box but you can also scroll through the list looking for the entry.
If you see the blue circle with @, select. Double click to open
You'll see the actual account listed so you'll know if it's the correct one.
Check the box to show password.
Enter your Login password for your User.
You'll see the password.
You might need to check several entries.
In Safari, go to Preferences > Passwords.
Check box to Show passwords.
Select the icloud.com site
Click on the password to view after entering your Login password for User.
If you used FireFox or Chrome, you would need to look in their preferences for the password.
TIP: When you can get in, add multiple recovery emails to the account. Write down your password and recovery emails and keep in a safe place. I recommend 1Password  http://agilewebsolutions.com/products/1Password
I use a lot of fake answers and it's hard to remember so I keep these in secure notes in 1Password.
Tip: when Yosemite is released you might see 1Password on sale. It's not cheap but worth every penny.

    You cannot delete the iCloud account that is signed on to Find My iPhone unless you know the password. This is called the Activation Lock:
    ACTIVATION LOCK
    It is an anti-theft security measure that is a part of iOS 7. You can only get around this by following the steps in this support article:
    Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
    Contact your friend. This is the only way around the lock.

  • Itunes account password reset. icloud email unavailable...

    this is a question for a friend, because obviously, i have an account to ask.
    itunes account password reset because her son kept attempting to access account.
    to reset password, link goes to email. however, her email was an icloud account. so it used the same log in as the itunes account.
    she knows the secret question and answer to access and reset from the non-email password reset method, however, the birthday required to get to that question is inaccessible and does not work (she is a woman, and obviously lies about her age).
    I'm thinking the only way around it is to either setup a new itunes account, which would erase the ipad data once that is connected ( i assume that ipads can connect with only a single account), or find some other way to access the secret question. there is no phone number listed for icloud.
    the ipad is only backed up to the icloud account. she just bought a computer, so would like to make a physical backup of the ipad. I think it is unadvisable to connect the ipad and the computer, until the icloud account can be accessed.
    I'm not very knowledgable of the whole icloud thing. it sounded like a good idea to back up the son's ipad since she didnt have a computer, so i gifted her the icloud account. now, i'm kind of responsible for figuring out the situation. any helpful comments and suggestions would be appreciated.

    sneaky, found it sent an email to one of my email accounts as well as the icloud.
    login solved.

  • Is your icloud backup password the same as my icloud account password

    is your icloud backup password the same as my icloud account password.
    I can get into my icloud but i cant remember the icloud backup password.

    Navigate to Settings > General > Reset > Erase all contents and settings on the device you want to restore.
    When this completes and the Set-Up Assistant starts, choose "Restore from iCloud Backup" and enter your iCloud account and password. You will see the three most recent backups for each of the devices on which you enabled Backup. Choose which backup to restore from.

  • ICloud account password

    I have an iCloud account that I have forgotten the password.  When I go to "appleid.com" I don't remember the password and when I select send to an email I never receive the email thus maybe don't have the correct email.  Also when I use the secret question part I can't seem to find the right birthdate in there.
    Where can I go to get in without using these means?  Also I tried to delete the account and it won't let me without using the icloud account password.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Assuming you have finished with your old backup.....
    You can see what your iCloud storage is used for and delete any unwanted content at settings > iCloud > backup & storage > manage......

    Check your spam mail. If you have more than one email address verified with that apple id that email will go to the rescue email.

  • Cannot delete iCloud Account or reset Password

    Hi,
    I'm trying to Delete my old iCloud account off my iPhone so that I can set up my new account.
    However, to do so, it is asking me to enter my password (which I have forgot). I've tried resetting my Password using iForgot, but I never receive an Email from Apple (I have checked spam and spam filters). I have also tried the security question but it says my answer is incorrect. Lastly, I have tried the "I have forgotten my Apple ID" route, but I get a message saying that my old account doesn't exist. Therefore, I'm in limbo!
    Has anyone else experienced this and if so, is there a way around it?
    Many thanks.

  • TS5223 iCloud Password Reset Problems

    When I submit a password reset request on iCloud.com the site does not deliver the password reset instructions to the email address.  Apple, any ideas?

    We're only users here, Apple does not participate.
    Check your junk mail folder.  Or perhaps the email that you originally defined for sending icloud resets to is no longer active.
