In general your iCloud account and your Apple ID are one an the same, so the password is the same.


If you use a different account for iCloud than that of your Apple ID for say iTunes & App Store purchases, Messages and FaceTime, then the account would be different, but the process is the same as all iCloud accounts are by definition Apple IDs.


The only difference is you need to be logged in to the iCloud account when you follow the steps to change the password instead of being logged in to your other Apple ID.
