Sign out of both in System Preferences>iCloud and System Preferences>Mail, Contacts and Calendars, then sign back with the required on in System preferences>iCloud.


However you may be able to retrieve the password, or at least get it reset so you can access the account. Go to http://iforgot.apple.com and sign in with your iCloud login. A new password will be sent to your associated email address. If this doesn't work you will have to contact Support. Go to https://getsupport.apple.com . Click' See all products and services', then 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID', then 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password'. If you have any problems with that try this form: https://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
