How to Sign Out of iCloud on iPhone without a Password

iCloud account management can be challenging if you have forgotten the password or need to sign out without credentials. But fret not! There are ways to sign out of iCloud on your iPhone without a password and even reset the iCloud account password.

Regardless of your skill level, you can follow the methods shown in this guide to sign out of iCloud or reset the password efficiently.

Part 1. How to Sign Out of iCloud on iPhone without a Password?

This section will cover two methods to sign out of iCloud on an iPhone without a password. The first method will demonstrate using the built-in Settings, while the second method uses a third-party iPhone passcode unlock tool called Tenorshare 4uKey.

Method 1.1. Sign Out of iCloud on your iPhone without a Password via Settings

One of the ways to sign out of iCloud on your iPhone without password is to manipulate the device’s settings. This will allow you to bypass the password requirement and delete the iCloud account. The method is unconventional but effectively removes iCloud from your iPhone without the password.

Here’s how to sign out of iCloud without a password on your iPhone:

Step 1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone. Navigate to and select “iCloud.”

Step 2. iCloud will ask you to enter the password, and enter any random characters. You will receive a “Wrong password” notification.

  • Tap “OK” and then “Cancel” to return to the iCloud settings page.
  • Erase the content in the “Description” field and choose the “Done” button.

Step 3. This will automatically disable the “Find My iPhone” feature on your iPhone. You will see a warning, but continue the process and choose “Delete” in the pop-up window.

Confirm the decision to sign out of the existing iCloud account.

This will remove the existing iCloud account, and all the associated content will be erased too. However, once again, this method might not work on some devices, given it exploits a potential vulnerability in the Settings. Depending on the iOS version and security updates, this may not work.

Method 1.2. Sign Out of iCloud on your iPhone without a Password via iPhone Unlocker

As mentioned, if the built-in settings method does not work, you can use Tenorshare 4uKey to sign out of iCloud without a password on your iPhone. Additionally, it offers a convenient and efficient way to remove your iCloud account from your iDevice, so even the least tech-literates can use it seamlessly.

Step 2. Once 4uKey detects the iPhone, choose the “Start Remove” button to continue.

Step 3. You have to set up a screen lock if your iPhone does not already have one. (Go to Settings>Face ID & Passcode> Turn Passcode On, and create a passcode).

Turn on the Two-Factor Authentication and choose “Yes” on the 4uKey interface. (Go to Settings>Click on your name>Two-Factor Authentication, and turn on the option).

Step 4. On the next screen, wait for the program to identify the matching firmware. Once it identifies, click on the “Download” option to continue.

Step 5. After the firmware is removed successfully, choose the “Start Remove” option.

Wait for the process to complete and follow on-screen instructions to re-add iCloud or Apple ID.

You can now sign out of iCloud on your iPhone without a password. However, let’s explore another approach — resetting the iCloud password itself on the iPhone.

Part 2. Log Out of iCloud on your iPhone without a Password by Resetting the Password

This section will explore an alternative solution for those who have forgotten their password and want to regain access to their iCloud account. By resetting the password, you can continue to use the same iCloud account on your iPhone.

Method 2.1. Reset iCloud Password via Recovery Options

Apple offers recovery options that let you regain access to your iCloud account by resetting the password and recovering the account. The method involves either receiving an email with a password reset link or answering security questions set up during account creation.

Here’s how to reset your iCloud password via Recovery Options:

Step 1. Visit the official Apple ID account page.

  • Click “Forgot Apple ID or password?” below the sign-in fields.
  • And select the option “I need to reset my password” and choose “Continue.

Step 2. Enter your Apple ID (the email address with your iCloud account). Type the captcha.

  • And click “Continue.
  • Then choose “I need to reset my password” and choose “Continue.”
  • Choose one of the recovery options: “Get an email” or “Answer security questions.”

If you choose “Get an email,” Apple will send a password reset link to the registered email. Open the email and click on the link to reset your iCloud account password.

If you opt for “Answer security questions,” you have to provide the correct answers to the security questions you set up while creating the iCloud account. Once you enter the security questions correctly, you can create a new password.

After creating the new password (use the on-page instructions to create a suitable password), you can sign in to your iCloud account with the new password on your iPhone.

Method 2.2. Reset iCloud Password in iPhone Setting

You can also reset the iCloud password via the iPhone setting itself. However, you must be logged in on the iPhone with the same iCloud account. This method does not require using a computer or a third-party tool. And it allows you to reset the iCloud account password on the iPhone itself.

Here’s how to reset your iCloud password in iPhone settings:

Step 1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone.

  • Tap your name to access the Apple ID settings.
  • Scroll down and choose the “Password & Security” option.

Step 2. Choose “Change Password.” If the Two-Factor authentication is enabled, a security code will be sent to the trusted device.

Enter the security code. And once the code is verified, enter your new password in the “New” field, and confirm it in the “Verify” field.

Step 3. Choose “Change Password” to save the new password. Once you save the new password, the iPhone will prompt you to update the iCloud keychain with the new password. You can also choose to update it later.

Once you reset the iCloud account password using the iPhone settings, you have to use the new password to access the iCloud account on other devices and services accordingly.
