How do we find out which email is our back up email to the icloud email

[iMore Question]

We cannot remember the password or which email account is our back up one. We have tried all our email addresses to see if the password was sent to them with no luck. Need to re set the iPad back to factory settings and start again. Happy for any information etc to be deleted as there is nothing on the iPad.

There is no way to find out and Apple is not going to divulge that information for account security reasons. You can reset the iPad to factory settings by restoring it via iTunes, but if the iCloud activation lock is enabled, restoring won't do you any good.
