Icloud id password reset

A cloud old ID keeps asking for a password I don't remember, how do I reset the old cloud ID password? My new Apple ID is different from the Cloud ID.

See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5787. (An iCloud ID is also an Apple ID.)

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.

I cannot log into icloud after password reset on all devices

I recently reset my password for my apple id/icloud.
Now I cannot seem to log into any of my devices. iphone 6, ipad mini retina, and macbook pro retina.
on some devices I have been able to log out of the account but I can't seem to log back in. The ipad mini retina is having problems logging out of icloud.
Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

I am stuck in a loop on my ipad - I have followed the instructions in your article above - I keep trying to delete icloud but cannot because it still wants me to login with my old id/email which is then rejected because it no longer exists. STUCK. What am I to do? Now none of my Apple devices will sync and this is extremely irritating - to say the least.
I assume that I wont be able to access the backup on my computer either because of this - otherwise I would delete my ipad completely and start again - and I really cannot see why, in this age of hackers etc you wonderful APPLE people have not sorted this problem out.
I had to change my email addresses because someone with too much time on their hands hacked me. Now I appear to be stuck.
Please help.

HT1911 iCloud/iTunes password reset options?

I recently purchased a new iPod and in the process of setting up my iCloud and iTunes account on the new device I took the opportunity to change my password as well. However, somehow the password I thought I typed was not what I actually typed and now I am locked out of my account. To make matters worse, I don't remember the answers to my security questions from last year (first teacher and least favorite teacher -- I must have mispelled the names or used Mr. or Mrs., and I had many teachers that I hated, so it's just hard to say!). And, it gets worse, the recovery e-mail address that I used was deactivated by the provider years ago. So now I am not sure what options I really have? I have spent a fortune on music and apps under that Apple ID which is now deactivated on all of my devices and on my Mac as well. Do I have any optioins?
Thanks in advance for your replies.

Hey Po.,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you wanted to reset the iPad but you have to turn off Find my iPhone first. It looks like you have already done some troubleshooting. I would recommend that you read these articles, they may be helpful in troubleshooting your issue.

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a good one,

Further to the reset of my Apple ID account, I am not able to receive email on icloud mail address with MacBook Mail application anymore, whereas this change has not affected icloud email address use on iphone & ipad.
Thanks for your help!

Additional information, the following error message occurs once checking account password for imap:
"Échec de la connexion au serveur icloud.com IMAP « imap.mail.me.com ». Assurez-vous que le nom d’utilisateur et le mot de passe sont corrects puis cliquez sur Continuer. Vous ne pourrez pas recevoir de courrier si les informations sont incorrectes."
Sorry in French...

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.
