Yes, as I already said. When the device reboots and starts up the new iOS 10.2.1 you will be prompted for your iCloud password when it gets to the step of updating your iCloud settings.


Not recalling your AppleID password for iCloud is inevitably going to cause you issues. You need to recover that account - see https://iforgot.apple.com/password/verify/appleid. (And by any chance is it the same AppleID and Password you just used to login and post here?).
