how do I update my icloud information on my iphone

I had to reset my iphone xr to factory settings due to problems. My problem is icloud keeps showing up under my sons information. The iphone xr never belonged to my son and I was the one who purchased the phone and pays the carrier. How do I change the icloud information to my apple id so I can continue the download from my icloud. I would call Apple this is the only phone I have to make calls.

iCloud is linked to an Apple ID.


Log in to your device with your Apple ID and if need be change the Apple ID password, then there won't be anyone else accessing the iCloud.


Change your Apple ID password

  1. Tap Settings > [your name] > Password & Security.
  2. Tap Change Password.
  3. Enter your current password or device passcode, then enter a new password and confirm the new password.
  4. Tap Change or Change Password.
  5. Sign in with your new Apple ID password to access Apple features and services.

I cannot get to that point did you read my message. I reset my phone to factor due to issues. I did a back up earlier. I am trying to use the back up. It keeps showing under my son. I own the phone my son never owned the phone. I need to be able to change the icloud to my information. I had this problem once before. At that time I had a 2nd phone. Today I don’t have a 2nd phone.
