I can't remember my iCloud pssword help please?

[iMore Question]

I need to get more space but I can't remember my password and have no recovery stuff

Icloud also uses your Apple id. You can reset your apple id password in different ways.
easiest way might be: https://iforgot.apple.com

Remember that on all your devices connected to that id you will be prompted to login again.

I just made an account on this site btw it's the same guy, will it delete any data? And my Apple ID and iCloud is different

When you change your password it will prompt you to enter it again when it wants to connect to icloud or the app store. All stuff that is stored will stay in icloud, it won't be deleted when changing a password. If you logoff on your mac/ios device it will ask if you want to delete the locally saved data. If you don't a copy will stay (although doing that for photos messed up my photolibrary by downloading all photos again so I ended up with everything duplicate).


I don't know if it's a good idea to have a seperate id for your icloud account. you can use any emailaddress to create an apple id so that might be confusing.

Anyway, You should be able to use the apple id reset password link for your icloud apple id account.
