    1. Before doing anything, turn off 'Find my iPhone/iPad/Mac' on any devices it's enabled on.

     

    2. Sign out of iCloud on all your devices. On a Mac, System Preferences>iCloud and click 'Sign out'. On an iOS device, Settings>iCloud and click 'Delete account' (this will not delete the account from the server) or 'Sign Out' as applicable. Your iCloud-synced data will disappear from your device. If offered the opportunity to save it on your Mac, don't.

     

    3. Go to http://appleid.apple.com, sign in and click 'Password & Security' in the sidebar. Answer the security questions, if set, and then click 'Edit' next to the password field. Save.

     

    4. Sign back in on all your devices. Your data will re-appear (give it time). You can now re-enable 'Find My...'.

     

    5. I reiterate, before you start, turn off 'Find My...' or you will need the services of Support.
