[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1604723"] Do you have it set up to ask you for a password when you boot? If so, that is most likely an administrators password and has sufficient authority to disable iCloud. If not, then the password may be just nothing, it depends on what you did when you set up your account. Nuke/pave is not the ONLY way to fix the problem, but it is A way to do it, just like you can use a shotgun to kill a fly. It's overkill, but works. The non-nuke way is to just go through the disable process and provide the RIGHT password. There may be terminal commands, but I personally don't know them. Out of curiosity, I think the iCloud password and your AppleID password are the same (not sure about that, but I think so). Can you log into your AppleID account? If you can, try that password to kill iCloud. [/QUOTE]
