My password in Apple ID cannot be changed it is frozen

My Apple ID password does not allow changes

If it was that easy then it wouldn't be secure. I can't change my particular Apple ID either because I bought an iMac and set-up an Apple ID during a specific window of time in 2008 or 2009 when Apple had Mobile Me. But I can still change my password.
Nowadays you kinda have to 'jump through hoops' to:
Apple ID: Changing your password
Or you can Change your Apple ID
Or you can use this list Frequently asked questions about Apple ID

HT6030 Since updating my macbook pro to IO X Mavericks, my iCloud email account will not hold its password. Apple support has not been able to suggest a resolution. Does anyone have a suggestion?

Have you tried - in Mail go to the menu Mail > Preferences.
When the Preferences Pane opens, click on the Accounts Tab.
Click on your iCloud Account to select it.
Click on the Advanced tab.
Set Authentication to Apple Token.
Close the Preference Pane.

I have changed my Apple id. It should be in order. But somehow in my iCloud there is a different apple id and I cannot change the password. Apple is no more giving me an extra change. I have used all? How can I remoce this extra iCloud account? Ellimati.

I have changed my Apple id. I should be in order. But iCloud is not working, because it has a different account name. I cannot remove the account, because it needs password. I don´t have it! I have asked too many times a possibility to have a new password. Apple is no more giving me the e-mails (so easy to handle the account!) I hope if I can enter the account, I can also remove it. How to remove an extra iCloud account with old account name? Ellimatilda

You need to sign out in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud and sign back in again with the new password

Had to change my apple ID/password and now I cannot sign into iMessage on my ipad2

I changed my Apple password and now I cannot log into iMessage. It just flips back to log-in screen & says it cannot verify & that I need to log back into my apple account. Help?

Go to Settings > Store, touch your Apple ID, log out, then back in with the updated information. Then go to Settings > iCLoud and verify the correct address. Then do the same in Settings > Messages.......Once all all correct, you should be good to go......

HT4245 I cannot get Facetime or IMessage set up on my IPad. It isn't recognizing my password and Apple ID. I have tried changing the password a few times and it still won't accept it. Any ideas?

I cannot get Facetime or IMessage to work on my IPad. It isn't recognizing my Apple ID or password. I have tried to change my password a couple times and it still keeps kicking me out of it. What am I doing wrong? My id and password work for everything else!
Can anyone help?

Settings\iCloud - Account is your Apple ID appearing here and is the place for your password full of stars. The password needs to be the password for the email account - not your Apple password.
Once you have checked this go to Icloud main page and ensure mail is on.
Go to home screen and tap on Mail App - check that you can access your mail and your .me.com email account.
The check settings\General\Restrictions and ensure facetime is On if restrictions is enabled - alternatively turn restrictions off if you wish.
Both services you require run through the cloud and need an active .me.com account to set up initially. the default account can be changed from your @me.com later if you prefer.
Also note that once iMessage is active - go to settings\iMessage and ensure your Apple id main email is listed in the Receive at Field.

Do you already changed your Apple-ID here yet?

I have an old Apple ID connected to a discontinued e-mail address. I want to delete it. I cannot remember my password and when I try to change the password using the security questions, it rejects my birth date! I can't change it by cancelled e-mail.

I have an old Apple ID associated with a discontinued e-mail address. It keeps popping up when I try to update apps. I don't remember the password. When I try to change it by security questions, it rejects my birthdate! I can't change it by e-mail because I no longer have access to the e-mail. All I really want to do is cancel this old ID. How can I do this? Obviously, I have a new ID, since I am using this support community.

You'll have to contact iTunes store support to see if they can help you with this: http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.

On MacBook Pro, in iCloud cannot access Apple ID username to change it, from previous user. Can you help?

On MacBook Pro, in iCloud I cannot access Apple ID username to change it, from previous user. Can anyone help?

In System Preferences>iCloud: Sign Out, reboot and then Sign In with your ID and password.
If Find My Mac is switched on you will be unable to sign out without the previous owners password.

HT204053 Have new iphone. Had everything backed up on icloud. All was OK till tried to download pics and an old incorrect @me apple id showed up. Now phone reverted to year old icloud back up. Support says id with @me cannot be changed but apple store did

Question: Acquired new iphone last week. All data was backed up with icloud on old phone and all was restored OK. Today, tried to download pics to my Mac and itunes asked for phone update---which resulted in an old incorrect "@me" id being used. Now all data is over a year old --- to when the incorrect @me id was established. Apple support says @me ids cannot be changed but they did in an Apple store once. I do not know how to cahnge to correct id so can get to correct icloud data. Help

having looked into this a bit more and found I have a bigger problem than just the one i originally posted as this impacts more than one of my devices.
I think I can pose the question in a easier way.....
I changed the name of my apple ID as it was using the name of an old email account I no longer have access to.
when I go onto any of my IOS devices that are running 7.x to change the Icloud account details , I cannot delete the old account id because when I try to it asks me for the password of my old account ID as I have find my iphone turned on. when I type in the password that was on the old account it says "incorrect apple id or password". I assume because that apple ID no longer exists.
ICLOUD obviously recognises the two accounts are the save as when I run up findmyiphone on an iphobe that is logged in with my new account ID it can see other IOS devices in my family that are still logged in with the old account name.
so my questions is:
how do you log you update an IOS device if you have simply changed the account name of your apple ID if you are on IOS 7 and have find my iphone turned on?

TS2446 changed password, but i still cannot access items from old accounts what do I do?

Help! My iPod touch won't let me download any apps. A message keeps coming up saying "This Apple ID cannot be used for the iTunes store. Please enter another Apple ID" I changed my ID to see if that would work but the same message still comes up.

Where are you physically located?
What country's Store are you using?
The two have to be the same and the payment method for your account also has to be associated (billing address, where iTunes gift card was purchased) with that country.
Has the ID(s) worked before for purchases for this country's store?

I can't use my apple password to open icloud. I changed my apple password and still can't open icloud on my pc. What can I do or what am I doing wrong.

Sorry to ask but... are you absolutely certain you have entered your Apple ID and account password correctly?
If you use the same Apple ID for iCloud and the iTunes store, see if you are able to log into the iTunes store from either your computer or your iPod.

TS3988 iCloud will not accept any passwords after upgrading OS. 2 days of trying every password I have ever used, AND changing Apple ID and iTunes ID, still nothing. Can't backup on iCloud anymore.

How can I use iCloud again after upgrading OS to Mountain Lion? 2 days of trying every password I have ever used, AND changing Apple ID and iTunes ID, still nothing. Can't backup on iCloud anymore.

Apple ID's can be used for anything, a single ID can be used for all your accounts (ie iCloud, iTunes, MAS, Apple community etc), ideally this would be the way forward. So far as iTunes goes you need to continue to use the same ID as you have always used or you will lose access to your previous purchases and your iTunes match subscription.
If you are using a second ID for iCloud, you can continue to do so or use the ID you use for iTunes, but if you choose the later you will need to move all your calendar, contact etc data to the account using the ID you use for iTunes.
When (if) you change which account you use you would delete the account on an iOS device and log back in with the correct details, on a mac you would sign out in the iCloud system preference pane.
