Q: Lost iCloud email address and password.. Help!
-
Apr 18, 2016 7:13 PMby gail from maine,You forgot your email address? You can go to: FORGOT APPLE ID to see if you can retrieve it. But ultimately, if you can't remember your Apple ID, then the only way to get the Activation Lock removed is to take your device to an Apple Store with your original receipt.
Best of luck,

If you are unable to retrieve your own Apple ID, then the only other way to get the Activation Lock removed, is to take your device along with the original proof of purchase (i.e. receipt), and ID, and they should be able to help you. Without that original proof of purchase, there is nothing anyone can do for you.
Best of luck,

Jul 27, 2016 6:17 AMby wiztgr97,If I forgot my iCloud email address and password, which are different from my Apple ID, is there any way to retrieve it? I've looked everywhere thoughout the discussion boards and cannot find an answer. My phone had reset and is asking me to use only my @iCloud.com ID to restore all of the data and I cannot remember what it is, thus I cannot reactivate my phone. Does anyone know if there is any way to have this email and password sent to a different email? Again this is not my normal Apple ID which I use for iTunes and such, it is my iCloud account. If anyone has any idea how to help me I would greatly appreciate it!!

Jul 27, 2016 9:47 AMby gail from maine,Your iCloud email address is an Apple ID in and of itself. So, if you have forgotten the actual email that you used for iCloud, you can try to retrieve it from here: FORGOT APPLE ID.
Be aware, unless you specifically, and intentionally set up a brand new, separate iCloud ID, then your iCloud ID and your Apple ID are one in the same. They just have different appendages: @me.com, or @gmail.com, etc. and @iCloud.com....
Cheers,
