email password recovery

I can't remember my password to iCloud email. Is there a simpler way to get to the reset section. I know my password to my iCloud account but it wants to change that and I don't want to. How can I bypass this step. This is really getting on my nerves.

HELP please!

Hello!


The password to your iCloud email is the same as your iCloud account and Apple ID. Seeing as they are all using your Apple ID you will have to change your password for your Apple ID. There is no separate password for iCloud or Apple ID. Check out the links below for more information.

Reveal this on your Keychain:

Having troubles with password recollectance? See if you can find these by use of your keychain. This password may be sitting right in there. Who knows?
