Hi,
if you want to set up a new primary iCloud account for all iCloud services, then you would have to sign out first in order to set up the new account (settings > iCloud).
If you only want to set up a secondary iCloud account for services like Mail, Calendars etc., then go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar > iCloud.
With kind regards,
David
I already have a new Icloud account. I want it to be accessible from my iphone, but my iphone won't allow me to input the new login id.
What happens when you try to set it up in Settings > iCloud?
It goes directly to my old ID and asks for the password for my old Apple ID, which I don't know.
But you have to find out, because there is no way around "activation lock". Please try to reset your password for your old Apple ID (https://iforgot.apple.com/) and if it doesn't work then please directly contact Apple.
With kind regards,
David
I guess we are going around in circles because I have two options to reset the password. 1 send to old not working email address or 2 enter DOB, and neither one of these options work.
As I wrote previously, there is no way around Apple's "activation lock". If you cannot reset your password the only option is to contact Apple.
