I need to reset email address to start over. New phone and I forgot the password and email address. Will I lose all of my contacts, pictures, etc?

[iMore Question]

Just bought a new I phone 6. I set up in the store and can't remember the apple id. I want to know if I can reset settings and start over again. Will I lose contacts, pictures, etc.

If you select to reset "all settings", you will NOT lose your data. If you select to "erase all contents and settings" then you will lose it all. Having said that, if you're referring to your iCloud email account, you can simply go to the iCloud website via a computer and choose the 'forgot password' option.

You can do it in Safari on your phone also.
