[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1648699, member: 204485"] Creating a new Apple ID is by far the easiest way to overcome your problem. Harry's idea is also a good one. Either way you will need another Apple ID for your dad. The only catch will be purchases made from iTunes or the App Store, they will not be available on the new ID. The big issue here is the deletion of the email address. Without it Apple can not send you a link to reset a password so I don't think Apple Support will be able to help you. I suggest when setting up the new ID you create a iCloud email account for this situation in the future. Your dad doesn't need to use it for anything else except his Apple ID. It is usually [I]your name[/I]@iCloud.com or me.com so easy to remember. And lastly please get a copy of his admin and Apple ID passwords for the future. [/QUOTE]
