Hey there Glo10, 


You would need to follow the steps we previously shared to change your Apple ID password.


Change your Apple ID password   


As discussed within, iCloud: About your @icloud.com, @me.com, and @mac.com email addresses:


  • "If you had a working @mac.com email address as of July 9, 2008, kept your MobileMe account active, and moved to iCloud before August 1, 2012, you can use @icloud.com, @me.com, and @mac.com email addresses with your iCloud account.


In each case, you can sign in to iCloud with either your @icloud.com email address or the Apple ID that you use with your iCloud account.


If you created one or more email aliases for your account, be aware of the following:


  • You can change or delete an email alias, but if you delete an @mac.com or @me.com email alias, you can't add it back to your iCloud account.
  • You can't sign in to iCloud.com with an email alias. Sign in with your @icloud.com email address or the Apple ID that you use with your iCloud account."


Have a good one!
