    Hello there, Johnny.

     

    It sounds like you need to reset your iCloud email password. The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great information on how to accomplish just that:

     

     

    iCloud: Change your password

     

    Change your iCloud password

    Your Apple ID password protects the privacy of your information stored in iCloud, such as your email. Your password also protects your ability to locate or remotely erase your device using Find My iPhone. You should regularly change your password to protect your information. 

    Go to the My Apple ID website (appleid.apple.com) and follow the instructions to reset your password. For detailed instructions, see the Apple Support article Change your Apple ID password

    The next time you use Apple features and services that require an Apple ID, you’ll be asked to sign in with your new Apple ID password. If you use your iCloud mail account with an email app other than Mail on an iOS device, a Mac, or on iCloud.com, change your password in that other app too. 

    If you set up iCloud on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, make sure to set up a passcode lock on your device for added security. (Go to Settings > Passcode or Touch ID & Passcode.)

     

     

    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

     

    Cheers.
