Go to iforgot.apple.com to reset the password to that Apple ID, then use that information to sign out of iCloud on the device.

Unless you can log out of your iCloud account on the phone it will be useless to you and to anyone you sell it to.

Isn't it funny! No reply from I Forgot Support team! They keep saying they have sent me instruction on setting a new password. But I receive no email! Can you think of any reason? Is the any chance to use another Apple id to turn off iCloud?
That means that the email address you gave them is wrong, was blocked by your ISP, or the email arrived but is in your junk or spam folder. There is no other way to turn off iCloud, other than to use the Apple ID and password that it was turned on with.
