I changed to a Samsung phone. I still have my iPad but forgot the iCloud account password. Now the iPad is locked from updating or upgrading or resetting. Why can't I do a simple thing like change the iCloud account to a new or make a new password? To do this I need fill in the password that I forgot!!!
